How to Make Modified Banana Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 cup grated zucchini, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional).
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pans for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and enjoy! Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
