zucchini banana bread
Banana Zucchini Bread is a moist and delicious quick bread made with ripe bananas and shredded zucchini for a yummy snack or breakfast.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups finely shredded zucchini (from 1.5 medium zucchini)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup ripe bananas (mashed, about 1 cup)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- Rinse the zucchini and trim off the ends. Use a fine grater to shred the zucchini. Gently wrap the shredded zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out any excess water. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- To a large bowl, add the bananas. Use a fork to mash. Add in the sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir until fully combined.
- Add the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.
- Add in the grated zucchini and stir until incorporated.
- Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 70-80 minutes, checking the bread at 70 minutes. The outside will be dark brown and an inserted toothpick should be removed with crumbs, but not wet batter. If the loaf is getting too dark, you can add an aluminum foil tent for the last 10-15 minutes.
- Let the bread cool slightly before cutting and serving.
Notes
This bread is delicious served with coffee or tea.
