Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup very ripe bananas (mashed, about 2 large)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour or spelt flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add zucchini, egg, oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Gradually add flour to the mixture using a rubber spatula; stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for approximately 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  5. Allow cooling in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
