  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 10-12 Slices 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4oz (1/2 Cup) Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 100 grams (1/2 Cup) Granulated Sugar
  • 100 grams (1/2 Cup) Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 252 grams (1 1/2 Packed Cups) Shredded Zucchni
  • 7oz (3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons) Mashed Ripe Bananas
  • 250grams (2 Cups) All-Purpose/ Plain Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C and grease a 9X5 loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl mix together the butter and sugars. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Fold in shredded zucchini and mashed bananas.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gently fold in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, until just combined- don't overmix!
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with no wet batter. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before inverting to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.

Equipment

Notes

Freezing: Once completely cooled from baking wrap the whole loaf or slices of zucchini bread in plastic wrap tightly, twice. Then place in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. To thaw the banana zucchini bread let it sit at room temperature for a few hours. It will take longer if you are thawing a whole loaf as opposed to slices.
