You are making the ultimate moist and fluffy Zucchini Banana Bread. This recipe combines ripe bananas and fresh zucchini for a surprisingly simple loaf perfect for breakfast or a satisfying snack. Amelia and Jacob perfected this project for their Taste Portfolio.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set this dry mix aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Jacob’s intuition makes this step important for texture.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas until just combined. Do not overmix here.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. A few streaks of flour are fine.
  7. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and any optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze the excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This keeps your bread fluffy.
  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • This recipe is easily customizable; try adding a cream cheese swirl before baking.
  • This loaf stays wonderfully moist for several days when stored properly.
