Use up that zucchini!!

If you’re like many gardeners, you may find yourself with more zucchini than you want at one time, especially in late summer. While excess zucchini can be used in a variety of recipes, such as this chocolate zucchini bread or these air fryer zucchini fries, one of our favorite ways to use it up is in zucchini banana bread.

Zucchini banana bread is a delicious and healthy treat for picky eaters who might not otherwise eat their veggies. I never recommend making a recipe to hide vegetables. I do like to use vegetables in a recipe kids will enjoy and then let them know that it’s in there. That way, when you offer them that food in another form, you can remind the they liked it in this recipe or that recipe.

It sounds silly, but it really does work. All of my kids have tried to be picky, and I won them over on a lot of foods just by using that method.

Can I make this zucchini quick bread into muffins??

You sure can! A lot of quick bread recipes can be made into muffins. A single loaf will often make 12 muffins. You can use cupcake papers OR just grease a cupcake/muffin pan to make muffins with this recipe.

To make zucchini banana bread, you will need:

ripe bananas
fresh zucchini
all-purpose flour
cinnamon
baking powder
baking soda
brown sugar
salt
brown sugar
vegetable oil
vanilla extract
eggs
large bowl
medium bowl
9x5loaf pan

Change it up!

Add a cup of chocolate chips to this recipe for a fun change. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is one of our favorites, it’s especially good with a cup of hot coffee. You can add white chocolate chips too. Or try a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts. Or if you don’t like this recipe try this Buttermilk Banana Bread recipe.

For a healthier version, you can try using some almond flour or coconut flour. I have not tried this, so your results are definitely not guaranteed.

Try substituting coconut sugar or maple syrup for brown sugar; again, making changes to a baking recipe can cause it not to turn out.

To store Banana Zucchini Bread

Once the bread is completely cool, store it at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Or store it in the fridge for up to a week.

If you’re not planning to enjoy it all at once, you can also slice the bread and wrap individual slices in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing. To thaw, simply leave the bread at room temperature for a few hours or microwave.
