Blueberry, Banana, Carrot and Zucchini Squares

by 50 Comments

With an abundance of fresh summer fruit and veggies in my house these days, I knew I wanted to do some baking this week. I could not decide whether I wanted to bake banana bread or zucchini muffins or blueberry muffins. My indecisiveness led to this delicious combination of everything. Today I am sharing these Blueberry, Banana Carrot and Zucchini Squares with you. Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday.

With all of the summer fruit and veggies in great supply, there is no need to settle for just one or even two. This is basically a use up everything in your fridge recipe. Because everything is so ripe and tasty, I’ve used very little sugar in this recipe. So it’s basically like eating a salad. LOL

I’ve tried experimenting with different flours for baking without much luck. I find using almond flour tends to give breads and muffins a heavy, dense texture. For these Blueberry, Banana, Carrot and Zucchini Squares I used regular white flour. Feel free to substitute with your flour of choice.

Some people tend not to like the word “moist” but seriously baked goods are supposed to be moist right? The Blueberry, Banana, Carrot and Zucchini Squares are definitely moist and taste even better the second day. They can also be cut and frozen to enjoy later.

  6. Yummy! This would be perfect for breakfast. I’m allergic to carrots so I would have to omit those but I’m sure it will taste just as good!

  12. What a combination of flavors! I am always so impressed by how you combine different things and come up with some really great results!

    Right now, we are still eating all our berries and cherries and melons like they are going out of style. I don’t think they would even make it into batter if we tried LOL!

  21. Yum!! way to combine all these great flavors! I was planning on going to the market this upcoming weekend – hopefully I can score some cheaper blueberries than what we have in the grocery store at the moment. Man you always make me want to try new recipes! I need more days in the week!

  24. Wow–I would never think to mix fruits and vegetables in a recipe like this. That must make an amazing combination of flavors and textures. With the kids out of the house, I don’t bake much these days. This one sounds like a keeper!
