Zucchini Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter until evenly distributed.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
