Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup Zucchini, grated and squeezed of excess moisture
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your Modified Banana Zucchini Bread!
