- 1 very ripe banana
- 1 large zucchini, or 2 medium
- 1/4 cup almond or peanut butter
- 2 Tbsps raw honey, or pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 medium eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup pasture raised creme cheese softened (recommended), Greek yogurt, or coconut cream for dairy free
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 inch knob of grated ginger
- 1.5 cups fine almond flour
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 2 Tbsps chia seeds
- 1.5 tsps baking powder
- mico pinch of salt (I used less than an 1/8 teaspoon pink salt)
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 cup crushed Walnuts
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f.
- Shred zucchini skin-ON, with a cheese grater, then squeeze in a paper towel to draw out excess moisture.
- Alternatively, you can use a food processor. I used about one and a half cups (after moisture was patted out, and lightly packed) shredded zucchini, but a bit more or less is totally fine in the recipe.
- In a large bowl, mash your banana using a fork, then stir in almond/peanut butter, honey, coconut oil, eggs, creme cheese, grated ginger and vanilla.
- Whisk to combine.
- Stir in the dry ingredients
- Lightly spray, or wipe with coconut oil aloaf pan, like a 9x5" one
- Bake in your preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the comes out clean
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze the leftovers! Thaw and reheat when ready to enjoy
- Add in 1 cup of your fav fruit like blueberries or strawberries for added sweetness
I’m Nicole Twyman, a native New Orleanian, who has lived all across the US! Although, my small family of 4 currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. I am a proud 40+ year old mom of a wonderfully energetic and theatrical daughter, and a handsome, scholarly athlete!
While I have worked in corporate America as a certified senior project / program / portfolio manager for Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble & IBM, my passion is service. It has always been my desire to live a life of service to others; which I took every opportunity to explore as an active member of many of my church’s ministries and of my public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
Well, now I am over the top excited to have the opportunity to serve divas through my very own ministry, Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
