Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
    Prepare two loaf pans by greasing it or lining them with parchment paper (allowing an overhang on sides).

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • With a fork, beat together mashed banana, zucchini, melted butter, buttermilk and eggs in a large bowl until combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Combine

  • Add to banana mixture and gently stir until just combined.
    Divide batter between the two prepared pans.

Bake

  • Bake for about 55 minutes, until toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean and top feels springy.
    Cool for about 5 minutes in pans, then invert into an oven mitt and flip onto wire cooling racks to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Recipe notes 
  • Bananas: The riper, the better! Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
  • Zucchini: No need to peel or squeeze out moisture unless it’s excessively watery. The zucchini will melt into the bread, adding texture without being noticeable.
  • Mixing: Be careful not to overmix the batter after combining the wet and dry ingredients. This helps keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Storage: This bread stays fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Slice and freeze individual portions for a quick snack.
  • Customization: Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to customize the flavor!
