They both taste the same to me.I hope that you are all enjoying the bounteous harvest we are being blessed with.  Here is a yummy zucchini bread recipe using white beans! So yummy! It comes from Dealstomeals.blogspot.com  Check out all of the other recipes she has to try using this yummy vegetable!

Let's start with zucchini bread. Many recipes for zucchini bread is dry, flavorless and not worth the calories. I love our recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Bread, but I think I have finally perfected the cinnamon, more traditional version of zucchini bread.  What I did was I took my mother in laws AMAZING banana bread recipe and just swapped out the banana for zucchini, added some cinnamon & a few cinnamon chocolate chips. It worked perfectly and was buttery, sweet, moist & delectable! Want a healthier version? The second time I made this I used 1/2 of the butter amount with pureed white beans and I even liked it better! It was still just as moist, but stayed even a little more light & fluffy--all with half the fat. Bonus!

Zucchini Bread
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter (or 1/4 c. butter & 1/4 c. pureed white beans)
1 c. shredded zucchini
4 T. sour cream
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour (you can use part wheat flour)
1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 t. cinnamon
Milk or cinnamon chocolate chips (I used cinnamon and loved it!)
Cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs and add the soda and sour cream, Combine the batter together and then add the flour and the rest of the ingredients. Grease and flour two bread loaf pans (you can have one super full bread loaf or two smaller loaves..take your pick). Bake the bread at 350 for 1 hour (plus or minus a few minutes depending how thick your bread is). Once the bread is done, let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes and then knife around the loaf of bread and turn over on the counter to cool.
