HEALTHY LOW-FAT BANANA ZUCCHINI BREAD



Healthy Low-Fat Banana Zucchini Bread image

This bread is a combination of zucchini and banana bread, and it is a wonderful way to use up old bananas and dip into that summer harvest of zucchini. The bread tastes more like banana bread than zucchini bread, but it has the added nutritional benefits of vegetables. This bread is lower in fat that the standard banana/zucchini bread because applesauce replaces some of the oil in the recipe. Still using some oil, however, will prevent the bread from getting rubbery. Experiment by using pumpkin instead of bananas during the autumn months or by adding walnuts and dates! This recipe makes 2 loaves. Enjoy!

BLUEBERRY, ZUCCHINI AND BANANA BREAD



Blueberry, Zucchini and Banana Bread image

This came from my "dibs and dabs" of ingredients that I need to use. I had two zucchini from my brother-in-law, two over ripe bananas and a pint of blueberries left over from another recipe. I liked bread from each of these ingredients but decided to experiment with adding them all together. Overall, I think this came out great and hope those of your trying it will think so too!

VERSATILE BUTTERMILK BREAD - BANANA OR ZUCCHINI



Versatile Buttermilk Bread - Banana or Zucchini image

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law while I was searching for a moist banana bread recipe years ago. She said the buttermilk makes all the difference. After trying a handful of different recipes - I am inclined to agree! The original recipe is for banana bread. I loved it so much I also altered it to make zucchini bread too! This recipe is one of those throw everything in a bowl and mix recipes - which is why I love it. It also freezes very well. **If you don't have buttermilk - plain yogurt can easily be substituted. Use 1/2 cup yogurt with a splash of milk.

ZOOBANA (ZUCCHINI BANANA) BREAD



Zoobana (Zucchini Banana) Bread image

I make this a lot in the summer to freeze when the zucchini harvest is rolling in. It takes about a 12 oz squash to get the 2 cups. This is a 2-loaf recipe. Larger pans mean shorter, flatter loaves. No eggs are needed to make a delicious, moist bread.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups zucchini, grated
2 bananas, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup canola oil
3 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Combine the first 7 ingredients, then sift in the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Stir until just combined, and add the walnuts if you want them.
  • Pour into 2 greased loaf pans (8x4).
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will result in a loaf of bread that is too thick and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Zucchini banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is a great way to use up leftover zucchini and bananas, and it is also a healthier alternative to traditional banana bread. With its moist texture and sweet flavor, zucchini banana bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
