This healthy carrot zucchini bread recipe is such a delicious snack full of veggies and flavor. Bananas give it extra sweetness.

The volume of carrots and zucchini that I’ve been bringing home from my farm share is getting to be overwhelming. My kids are especially hesitant around zucchini, so when in doubt, I bake it into a snack. Chocolate zucchini cake is a popular option.

This healthy carrot zucchini bread with banana is another delicious snack recipe full of veggie goodness.

Healthy Carrot Zucchini Bread Tips

The cinnamon and vanilla extract add a great flavor to this recipe. You could also include a bit of nutmeg.

I use a cup and a half of each grated vegetable, but you could easily add a little more zucchini, carrots, or a combination.

The recipe calls for white whole wheat flour. Gluten-free flour works well in this recipe, too.

This healthy carrot zucchini bread freezes well, so I put the cooled second loaf right in the freezer and save it for a week when I’m short on time.
