This zucchini banana bread uses up two foods we are always looking to bake into something else: bananas and zucchinis! The best of both worlds, this delicious quick bread recipe makes two loaves, one for now and one for later!
1-1/2cupsshredded zucchini do not blot the moisture away with paper towels
Optional Add-Ins - you can add up to two cups
1cupchopped walnuts
1cupraisins
1cupchocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350° °F. Grease two standard 9x5 loaf pans and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, bananas, white and brown sugar, vanilla, and oil.
Make a well in the dry ingredients, then pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture.
Mix until just combined.
Stir in the zucchini and a cup of your chosen addition until the zucchini is mixed throughout.
Using a spatula, divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans. Tap each loaf pan on the counter gently to remove any bubbles and make sure to flatten the top of the batter evenly with a spatula.
Bake until a toothpick or a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean 55-60 minutes. If the tops of the loaves start browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
Remove from the oven and cool until you are able to touch the pans safely.
Turn the loaves out onto a wire baking rack to finish cooling completely.
These will last for 3-5 days at room temperature in a sealed container, and you can wrap them up and freeze them as well.
