Ingredients:

  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 175g)
  • 1 cup (115g) grated zucchini, squeezed lightly to remove excess water
  • 1/2 cup (115g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (6g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine side of the grater. Note: If it's dripping wet, give it a gentle squeeze with a paper towel to avoid a soggy loaf.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla until the mixture is velvety and combined.
  4. Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  5. Sift the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon directly into the wet ingredients.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until no more streaks of white flour are visible. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
