Mmmm. Our test kitchen (Jessica, Oliver and myself) decided to embark on this fun little adventure of making up a recipe that uses kiwi as a main ingredient. There’s a hefty prize to be won so we put our thinking caps on and went for it.

Here’s what we came up with … ZUKIWI BREAD.

Ingredients:
3 whole eggs
3/4 C applesauce (our healthy substitution for oil)
3/4 C sugar
2 mashed Zespri Kiwi fruits
1 Tbs vanilla
1 tsp Baking soda
2 tsp gr. cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 C grated zucchini
1 1/2 C Whole Wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 C unbleached all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350, grease 2 loaf pans, mix ingredients together in order shown – mixing well as you go then pour equal amounts into each loaf pan and bake for 45 min.

Your kitchen will love you. So will your kids.

As you can see, both kids loved it. And a day later – we’re still asking for the ZuKiwi bread for snacks and instead of other lunch options. Yay! I have a winner (at least with my kids!). Our lunch box just got interesting.
