Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, moisture squeezed out
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup optional chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Equipment

  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • grater for zucchini
  • Mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • wire rack for cooling

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  4. Stir in mashed bananas and squeezed zucchini until well incorporated.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in blueberries and optional nuts.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil if needed.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and enjoy plain, or with butter or cream cheese.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out all excess moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent soggy bread. For extra flavor, try adding lemon zest or chopped walnuts. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
