Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup Zucchini, grated and squeezed of excess moisture
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.

Step 5

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your Modified Banana Zucchini Bread!
