A tender, moist banana bread infused with grated zucchini and crunchy walnuts. This easy recipe uses simple pantry ingredients to create a comforting loaf that is perfect for breakfast, snacking, or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 large or 2 small medium zucchini (grated)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using large holes. If watery, squeeze excess moisture out using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
  4. Stir in the vegetable oil and granulated sugar. Whisk vigorously for about a minute to aerate the mixture.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure bananas are very ripe (brown/black) for maximum sweetness. Do not skip draining the zucchini to prevent a soggy loaf. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture. The bread tastes even better on the second day as flavors meld.
