Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. This is your dry mixture.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Gently fold in the squeezed, grated zucchini until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated zucchini firmly in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess water. This step is key for a moist, not soggy, quick bread.
  • For an extra cinnamon spiced loaf flavor, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon mixed with 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top of the batter before baking.
  • If your bananas are not very ripe, add 1 extra tablespoon of brown sugar to boost the natural sweetness.
