Whole Wheat Zucchini Banana Bread

Posted by Delishhh / 23 comments » / Breads, Breakfasts, Desserts & Breads

I am always looking for things to do with my old bananas. When I saw this recipe Whole Wheat Zucchini Banana Bread recipe I knew I had to try it out. I had both items going bad and this was perfect timing. I ended up doing two loafs. One with Chocolate Chips and one with dates and walnuts. I do have to admit that the chocolate one was slightly better. And don’t forget to wrap your bread in a towel. It makes a huge difference. This bread will not only be gummy but it will dry out quickly.

Enjoy!

Whole Wheat Zucchini Banana Bread

Adapted from: Marcus Samuelsson

Yields: 1 Loaf | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Bake Time: 55 minutes

2 eggs
1/4 cup honey
1 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 cup chocolate chips, raisins, dried fruit, nuts, or a mixture of any of these

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a standard-sized loaf pan.

Beat together the eggs, honey, banana, brown sugar, and vanilla until well-combined.

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix into the egg/banana mixture just until combined.

Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips, just until combined.

Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let rest for 20 minutes before removing from the loaf pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.

For best results, store loosely draped with a kitchen towel. Wrapping your bread in plastic or foil will result in gummy texture.

That’s a gorgeous loaf, Ewa! I’m the same, too, I always seem to have bananas that are going bad before we use them. This is a perfect way to use them up.

This recipe is exactly what I was looking for. My daughter loves banana bread and I have a plethora of zucchini so it’s going to be a party in the oven. Thanks for the post.

How great is that! I’ve been a sucker for zucchini all summer long and just did a zucchini-almond loaf myself! Looking at those brownish looking bananas right in front of me, I know what to do next.
