Enjoy the benefits of Greek yogurt, a whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour mixture, fresh grated zucchini and juicy peach bits throughout this bread.

I had some canned peaches, so I added some cut up luscious peach bits to give this bread that classic peachy flavor with the zucchini bread. But you could add in any fruit you want to that sounds good to you that you might have on hand.  Fresh fruit would work as well!

This zucchini bread with peaches is the best!  Mostly because you wouldn’t ever guess it has whole wheat flour in it or Greek yogurt, but it does!  Oh did I mention, you won’t taste the zucchini?

Don’t you love it when healthy food with amazing taste go hand-in-hand?

The zucchini is pretty mild, but it does have a taste you either like or don’t when you eat it raw or cooked.  But I’ve found when you bake with it in baked goods, you most likely are not going to taste it, but you can see it.

So many people freak out when green veggies are even mentioned or in their sight! My husband is one of those people. He freaks out when he sees me enjoy eating a salad.  He doesn’t understand how I can even enjoy it?  (Even though he will pick out my tomatoes and croutons for his own liking.)  *eye roll*

But, if I bake it in dessert, he will eat it.  Does that make sense?  And they say women are complicated?  Hmm…kind of funny right?
