Zucchini Banana Bread

During the summer months, we have an excess of zucchini from our garden.
This Zucchini Bread & my Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins are staples in our house during these months.
Last week, our bananas were turning brown and I knew I wanted to use a few of them to make my Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins, but I had 3 more ripe bananas to use and some extra zucchini, so I decided to make some Zucchini Banana Bread.

This recipe, like my Zucchini Bread is a recipe from my Grammy.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you have read about my Grammy.
She will be 105 years old this October.....She is amazing!
Growing up, when we went to Grammy's house, she would always bake something for our arrival. Usually it was her Eggless, Milkless & Butterless Bread.
A couple years ago at the age of 103, Grammy stopped living in her house & moved into an assisted living home. It was then that I took home all her old cookbooks & recipe cards.

These included recipes as far back from 1920's & 1930's
(Grammy dated most of her recipe cards, so I knew exactly when they were from)

It is so fun to look through these recipes....I need to blog more of them!This Zucchini Banana Bread was one of her recipes. 

Here is what you need:

3 eggs  

3/4 cup vegetable oil

2/3 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup white sugar

2 cups grated zucchini

3or 4 ripe bananas, mashed

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

 Optional:  1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Grate your zucchini (I use a cheese grater)

Mix the eggs, oil & sugars. Add in the mashed bananas & grated zucchini:

Stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon.
'Pour into two 9x5 loaf pans. (I spray with cooking spray before I pour the batter in)

Bake at 350 for 50 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean)

Delicious, beautiful bread!

Within 24 hours of making this, 1 loaf was completely devoured.

Every Sunday or Monday I usually make some sort of bread/muffin so that when my kids get home from school, they have a snack that is ready to go!

This is a "healthy-ish" snack option....it has fruits & veggies in it!
You could also make these into muffins, just reduce cooking time to 20-25 minutes.
If you love bread/muffins like we do, here are some of our favorites:
