When making this delicious loaf, stir in a little milk or water to soften the peanut butter. I also like to poke extra chocolate chunks on the top. Eat this loaf warm to really enjoy the soft melted chocolate, so gooey and delicious. If you leave it for a day or two, simply warm a slice in the microwave and spread a good dollop of butter on top.

Ingredients

1	courgette, grated
1	green apple, grated
½ cup	melted butter
½ cup	runny honey
½ cup	soft peanut butter
2	eggs
1 tsp	vanilla
1½ tsp	baking soda dissolved in 1 Tbsp water
2 cups	wholemeal flour
1 tsp	cinnamon
100g	white chocolate chunks

To serve (optional)

1	courgette, sliced thinly
1 Tbsp	butter
1 Tbsp	honey

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 170C. Line a 1 litre loaf tin with baking paper.
2. Place the courgette, apple, melted butter, honey, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla and soda into a large bowl and combine. Sift in the flour and cinnamon and add chocolate chunks stirring through, but do not over mix. Pour into the loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out just clean.
3. To serve, either spread with butter, or fry the extra courgette in the butter and honey until caramelised and serve alongside your loaf.
