Zucchini In Banana Bread?

I know it sounds wired, a vegetable like zucchini in banana bread? Zucchini being neutral in taste, blend really well with other ingredients and flavors. The moisture in Zucchini gives a nice crumb to the bread. You can barely taste the vegetable in the bread, so no worries for picky eaters.

Ingredients

Flour- All-purpose flour. I have used a mix of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, but the crumbs were very dense. So better to stick to all-purpose flour.

Sugar- I always like to use a mix of white sugar and light brown sugar in my banana bread. Brown sugar gives a caramelized flavor to the bread and makes it extra moist. But you can also use all white sugar instead.

Baking powder and baking Soda

Eggs- Two large eggs at room temperature.

Oil- I have used coconut oil in this recipe. If you have never used coconut oil in baked recipes and wondering if you can smell coconut after it is baked, then-No. You can't smell coconut. Coconut oil can be substituted with any neutral-flavored oil or even melted butter.

Banana- Good overripe bananas are the best to be used for banana bread.

Zucchini- Seasonal fresh and firm zucchini are the best.

Cinnamon: Zucchini Banana Bread will not taste the same without this crucial ingredient.

Vanilla Extract

Salt

Steps To Make

Start with shredding the zucchini. Put shredded zucchini in a colander or in cheesecloth and drain as much water as possible.

The next step is to mix all the dry ingredients. Shive all the dry ingredients or place them in a bowl and whisk them until well incorporated.

Then mash ripe bananas. Adding sugar to the ripe bananas helps to mash bananas quickly. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas.

Add other liquid ingredients followed by shredded zucchini. Stir in the dry mixture in 2-3 parts.
