Zucchini Banana Bread Combo

This is the time of year where I get more zucchini than I know what to do with. One of my favorite recipes is my Vegan Zucchini Bread however I didn't have any applesauce. I decided to play around with the recipe by subbing mashed ripened banana for the applesauce. And I also added an egg to improve the texture after getting a tip from the Starbucks banana bread recipe (see inspiration link below). 

This new recipe turned out so delicious. The perfect combination of zucchini bread and banana bread with a fantastic texture. I will definitely be making this more frequently as a tend to have frozen ripened bananas always on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour (150g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (60g)
  • 1 mashed ripened banana (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/8 cup cooking oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (6oz/170g) grated zucchini

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon). Mix until evenly distributed.
  • Combine wet ingredients (sugar, banana, egg, oil, vanilla extract). Mix until well combined and sugar dissolves.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and begin mixing until loosely incorporated. 
  • Add zucchini and stir until evenly distributed but do no overmix.
  • Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and pour the batter in.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted doesn't have any gooey parts.
