* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda

Variations:
* To make a Pumpkin Zucchini Banana Bread, replace the applesauce with 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin puree and add 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
* For a Banana Oat Bread, replace the white whole wheat flour with 1 cup of rolled oats and add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.
* To make a Chocolate Hazelnut Zucchini Banana Bread, add 1/2 cup of hazelnuts and 1 tablespoon of hazelnut butter to the batter.
Tips:
* Make sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
* Grate the zucchini in a cheesecloth or a clean cotton cloth to remove excess moisture.
* If you want a stronger chocolate flavor, use more dark chocolate chips or add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
