How to Make Zucchini Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour three 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 inch loaf pans or one large 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Divide batter evenly among prepared loaf pans.
  7. **For smaller loaf pans:** Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. **For a large loaf pan:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
