Description

This banana zucchini bread is a wholesome and moist treat, perfect for using up ripe bananas and garden zucchini. It’s subtly sweet, easy to make, and feels indulgent enough for breakfast or a coffee break.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or neutral vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or any milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or half whole-wheat, half all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Stir in the sugar, olive oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Grate the zucchini and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Fold the grated zucchini into the banana mixture.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in any optional ingredients like chocolate chips or walnuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated zucchini gently to remove excess moisture.
  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure a tender loaf.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing for best results.
  • For deeper flavor, store the bread overnight before serving.
