What do I need to make this easy zucchini banana bread recipe?

Like almost all the other banana bread recipes, this moist banana bread also calls for simple ingredients that you probably already have. I mean you must have a couple of zucchinis sitting in the fridge and some super brown bananas on the counter and thought to yourself "how can I use these? Maybe a zucchini banana bread?". So, I'm happy you're here and ready to check out the ingredients to make a delicious homemade banana bread:

• Unsalted butter
• Eggs
• Granulated sugar
• Bananas
• Cinnamon
• All purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Zucchini

As I've already mentioned in the banana bread muffins recipe, it's very important that you use super brown bananas, the riper the bananas, the sweeter you banana bread.

Let's start making this zucchini banana bread!

Like all the other quick bread recipes, this homemade banana bread starts with mixing melted butter and sugar in a large bowl. Then we add the eggs, one by one and whisk completely after each addition.

Then we add mashed bananas and cinnamon. You can also add cinnamon with the dry ingredients, but I love the instant combination of bananas and cinnamon so I add it with the bananas. Once you have a smooth mixture, add in your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and baking soda). I always add both baking powder and baking soda because the make the banana bread fluffy but not dry.

Lastly, fold in grated zucchini and stir gently. Don't over mix because grated zucchini is delicate and contains a lot of water. Stirring much would result in a deflated banana bread.

Pour the zucchini banana bread batter into a loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes. Once fully baked, the top will have a nice golden brown cover and a toothpick inserted in the middle will come out clean.

Super easy right? Bet now you're craving some homemade banana bread, because I'm totally thinking about getting into the kitchen and make some of this moist banana bread!

Notes and tips to make this recipe

• Have all the ingredients at room temperature, This will help with the process of making banana bread and consistency of the batter.
• I almost always use sour cream, buttermilk or yogurt in my banana bread recipes. However, for this recipe, I haven't used any of those ingredients because grated zucchini keeps the banana bread quite moist.
• Let this homemade banana bread cool completely before slicing. If I make the banana bread in the evening, I always let it cool until morning and then it slices perfectly.
• If you would like to have this quick bread for breakfast, I suggest you toast it and serve it with some almond or peanut butter.
• Even though this easy banana bread has zucchini in it, because of the ½ cup butter, it's not considered the healthiest banana bread. If you're looking for a healthy banana bread recipe, check out my pumpkin banana bread.
