Ingredients
- 1 cup finely grated zucchini
- 1 cup finely grated carrot
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup sugar (or substitute with honey or maple syrup)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, mashed bananas, sugar, oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- If you’re adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy your delicious Zucchini Carrot Banana Bread! It’s perfect for toasting or simply eating on its own.
This recipe not only tastes amazing but also provides a great way to incorporate nutritious ingredients into your diet. Enjoy a slice of comfort with your family and friends!
