This recipe combines ripe bananas and shredded zucchini for a wonderfully moist and tender quick bread. It uses a simple one-bowl method, making it easy to prepare for breakfast or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded 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, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the flour streaks almost disappear. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the squeezed, shredded 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 carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess water from the shredded zucchini using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is key for a tender loaf and prevents a soggy center.
  • For an extra sweet and spiced flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • If you want a variation, gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries with the zucchini.
