There are those of you that know what I am talking about right off the bat with this title. I was at a cook-out on Thursday and the party favors were squash! This time of year is Zucchini season and it seems everyone has too many. I've been making an easy zucchini-banana bread for our breakfast for the last couple of weeks and I wanted to share it. Chris just loves it and it is really simple and quick which I love.
And for those of you without a garden, let me reveal this shocking truth so you fully understand the magnitude of the humble squash plant. I didn't even grow any zucchini this season! I've been making my zucchini bread for the last 3 weeks using what I already shredded and froze last season. One summer of growing squash and you'll still be feasting on it a year later. Enjoy the recipe!
Ingredients
- 3 large bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2-3 cups shredded zucchini (drained)
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup corn meal (really just for texture, can replace with more flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Mix together the banana sugar and egg (in a standing mixer is easiest).
- In another bowl mix together the dry ingredients and combine with banana mixture. Mix thoroughly and fold in zucchini.
- Add butter to the baking pan and sit in the oven to melt for a few minutes. Using pot holders tilt pan to evenly distribute melted butter (and grease pan) then pour in batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
- Test with toothpick.
