Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup Zucchini (grated and squeezed of excess moisture)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, honey, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using nuts, fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your healthy low-fat banana zucchini bread!
