This is extremely moist and gets you fiber from not only fruits AND veggies, but bran AND whole wheat too! It is truly a guilt free comfort food, and because it is low fat, it is even yummier the day after. Feel free to cut down on the sugar or maple syrup by personal preference.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups canned pumpkin
- 1 very ripe banana , mashed
- 1 egg
- 2 eggs whites
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 0.33 cups raw sugar , such as turbinado or demerara
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup unprocessed bran
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan.
-
2
Stir together the pumpkin, banana, egg, and egg whites in a large bowl. Beat in maple syrup, sugar, and vanilla; the batter should be a bit frothy. Stir in zucchini; set aside.

3
Mix flour, bran, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice in a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture, stirring just to moisten all ingredients. Over-mixing the batter will make it tough.

Corn has never tasted so good! This is a perfect side dish for a BBQ and tastes great on a hot summer day.
Italian Rice Pie
This delicious sweet rice pie is a traditional Italian dessert we always enjoyed on Easter Sunday. This is an original recipe from Naples, Italy. When I was young, my mother and her sisters would prepare all the food for Easter in advance, which was laid out on the table for the local parish priest to bless after mass.
Mexican Corn on the Cob (Elote)
Elote is Mexican corn on the cob that's grilled until charred, then smothered in butter, mayonnaise, and crumbled cotija cheese. This recipe was given to me by a Mexican friend of mine. Street vendors there sell their corn made this way. So delicious!
