You need a recipe for incredibly moist and fluffy zucchini banana bread. This easy bake uses ripe bananas and fresh zucchini to create a perfect snack or breakfast loaf. Chef Tariq’s guidance ensures your bread stays soft and flavorful every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional for brightness)
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup packed, freshly grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in the mashed ripe bananas and the grated zucchini until they are incorporated into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  6. Fold in any optional additions like nuts or chocolate chips gently.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the moistest bread, be sure to squeeze excess water from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • Use very ripe bananas; the browner they are, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • If you grate the zucchini yourself, avoid using pre-shredded zucchini, as it often contains anti-caking agents that affect texture.
  • If your oven runs hot, check the bread around the 45-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
