Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F
Combine dry ingredients and sugar together
2 cups flour,
1 teaspoon baking powder,
½ teaspoon baking soda,
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon,
½ teaspoon salt,
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg,
¾ cup sugar
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, mashed bananas, and oil together
3 eggs,
¾ cup mashed bananas,
½ cup oil
Add to flour mixture. Mix just until moistened. The batter will still be very dry.
Fold in zucchini and pecans. If the batter is still dry, wait 5 minutes and stir again. The zucchini will release moisture as it sits.
¾ cup grated zucchini,
½ cup chopped pecans
Place in a lightly greased 9x5 inch bread pan
Bake in 350°F oven for 55-60 minutes until baked through
Cool on a baking rack for 5 minutes then remove from pan and continue cooling on rack
Notes
Choose ripe bananas with brown spots on the peel. The bananas will be softer, sweeter and offer more banana flavor
Don't squeeze the zucchini after grating. You need all that moisture from the zucchini in the bread
Test your bread with a toothpick to determine if it is fully baked.
Don't overmix the batter. Use a spatula to fold the wet and dry ingredients together. Mix just until combined.
If the batter is too dry, wait 5 minutes and stir again. The zucchini will continue releasing moisture as it sits.
Bake in a fully preheated 350°F oven
