This may sound like a weird combination, but trust me; it’s delicious. Moist, tender, and subtle flavors. Just look at the photo.  By the time I let it cool a bit, and grabbed my camera it was nearly half gone.  I’m glad they love it, but give a grandma a break!  The flavor compares to a milder-tasting Banana Bread, with a hint of something else, but nobody ever knows what it is.  Perfect for people that don’t think they’re fans of Zucchini Bread.  Personally, I love Zucchini Bread far and above Banana Bread, but to each his own.  Give this a try!  I make it in my Ninja, but if you’d rather use your mixer, hand-grate the Zucchini, and then follow the rest of Preparation Instructions as written.

INGREDIENTS:  Yields 1 Loaf

2 over-ripe Bananas (about 1 cup+ 2 TBSP)

1 cup + 3 TBSP Zucchini

1 stick Butter at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan

1 cup Sugar

2 large Eggs

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

½ tsp Salt

1 ½ tsp Cinnamon

1 ½ tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

1 cup + 2 TBSP unbleached AP Flour (often I do half White and half Whole Wheat)

OPTIONAL:  Toasted Walnuts, Dates, Raisins, Chocolate Chips

PREPARATION:

     This is a quick bread and only takes a few minutes to prepare.  Preheat oven to 350° F.

     Peel most of the skin off the Zucchini and cut the ends off.  In a food processor, process the zucchini until very fine. (or use a hand grater).  Add Bananas and pulse until well incorporated.  Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

     In the same processor (or mixer bowl), cream Butter and Sugar until well mixed.  Add Eggs, Vanilla, Baking Soda, Salt, and Cinnamon.  Beat well.  Add Banana/Zucchini mixture and mix until incorporated.

     Add Flour and mix only until blended.  Add Optional Ingredients.  Stir or Pulse until evenly distributed.

     Pour Batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50 ish minutes.  Use toothpick test for doneness. Cool 10 min, and turn out on rack to finish cooling.

     This bread freezes beautifully.  Wrap in plastic wrap, and then aluminum foil.
