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
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. This is your dry mixture.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed bananas, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the squeezed, shredded zucchini and the optional chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick 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 moisture from the shredded zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key for a tender loaf.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the granulated sugar with packed light brown sugar.
  • This recipe is excellent for using up garden zucchini and ripe bananas, making it a smart breakfast baking idea.
