Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 large bananas)
  • 1 cup zucchini, finely grated (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup sugar (or a sugar substitute)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If desired, fold in walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best flavor and moisture. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a week.
