Recipe Details:
Servings: 1 loaf
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients:
* 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 medium zucchini, grated
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup chopped fresh walnuts (optional)
* 1 cup raisins
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the softened butter and beat until well combined.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas and grated zucchini.
5. Stir in the chopped walnuts (if using), raisins, and vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
9. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with confectioners' sugar (if desired) and serve.
Variations:
* Nutella Version: Add 1/4 cup of Nutella to the batter for a chocolate-hazelnut twist.
* Cinnamon Swirl: Add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the batter and sprinkle 1 tbsp of cinnamon sugar on top of the loaf before baking.
* Gluten-Free: Replace the all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour and add 1 tsp of xanthan gum.
* Healthy Twist: Replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup.
Tips:
* Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
* Don't overmix the batter, as it can result in a dense loaf.
* If you're using walnuts, chop them coarsely for a nice texture.
* Store the cooled loaf at room temperature for up to 3 days or wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
