Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose or white whole wheat flour (or a combination)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice (optional but super delicious)
  • 1 cup mashed bananas, about 2 medium/large bananas
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or neutral flavored oil
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (see note)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice.
  • Add the bananas, egg, butter or oil, sour cream and vanilla and stir until just combined and a few dry streaks still remain.
  • Gather the zucchini into your hands (or roll up in a clean kitchen towel) and squeeze over the sink to get rid of excess moisture (you should have about 1 cup/7 ounces after squeezing out the liquid). Add the zucchini to the batter, and stir until evenly combined (don't overmix).
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick or sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before running a sharp knife around the edges to loosen and turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
