BANANA ZUCCHINI BREAD INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITIONS

  • Bananas – Two to three medium sized ripe bananas, a lot of times you can find ripe bananas at the grocery store for really cheap or even ask neighbors if they have any sitting on the counter before they throw them away. 
  • Zucchini – If you planted a garden or know anyone who planted a garden with zucchini plant they usually produce quite a bit each summer. You can also shredded them when in season and freeze for later in the year. No need to peel them. 
  • Eggs – Look below if you’re trying to leave out the eggs, there are many substitutions. 
  • Vegetable Oil – I’m a fan of Crisco Pure Veggie Oil.
  • Brown Sugar
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Vanilla Extract – I’d love to try making my own vanilla extract some day, but for now I’ll just buy from the store. But I always use pure vanilla extract, the imitation just isn’t the same.
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Walnuts – Chopping them is really optional, you can sprinkle them on top or add to the batter. If you’d like them in smaller pieces, chop them or pulse them in the food processor to your liking. Honestly, you could grind them and hide them in the batter for extra nutrients.
  • All Purpose Flour

 

 

Can I make these vegan? If you’d like to make these vegan and leave out the egg. There are many substitutions out there, from applesauce to more ripe banana. A favorite of mine is a flax seed substitution. The basic ratio is one tablespoon of ground flax seeds and three tablespoons of water to replace one egg. You can easily grind flax seeds in a coffee grinder, like we do. Once you mix them, let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.

Can I make these gluten free? This recipe can also be made gluten free by substituting the flour for a gluten free substitute. 

 

HOW TO MAKE BANANA ZUCCHINI BREAD

Preheat oven to 325° and grease two loaf pans.

In a large bowl, beat eggs for about two minutes. Add the oil, sugars, grated zucchini, bananas, vanilla and blend until combined. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans and sprinkle walnuts over.

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through(insert a toothpick to check), 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool in the loaf pans on a wire rack. Remove from pans and serve.

 

WHAT TO SERVE BANANA ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH?

  • Homemade Butter is easy and delicious to make.
  • Nice cup of Greek Frappe coffee.

 

HELPFUL KITCHEN TOOLS:

  • Loaf Pans
  • Mixer – A KitchenAid mixer is a must in my kitchen, it’s very convenient and easy. But if you don’t have the space, budget or ability then a hand mixer works just as great!
  • Food Processor
  • Fork or a hand held potato masher works great for mashing the bananas.
  • Grater for the zucchini
  • Mixing bowls – I absolutely love these mixing bowls.
