Banana Zucchini Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup white sugar

• 3/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

• 1 cup grated zucchini, lightly squeezed of excess moisture

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups all‑purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp salt

• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Step 1: Prep the Pan and Zucchini

1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Grease and flour a 9×5‑inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.

3. Grate zucchini on the fine or medium side of a grater, then gently squeeze in a paper towel to remove just a little liquid (do not dry it out completely, or the bread will be less moist).

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly pale.

2. Whisk in vegetable oil until the mixture is well combined.

3. Stir in mashed bananas, grated zucchini, and vanilla.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

2. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain.

3. If using nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now. Avoid over‑mixing to keep the crumb soft.
