Ingredients
  

1 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 medium bananas)

1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out)

1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, mashed bananas, and grated zucchini. Stir well to combine. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Add Extras: If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

            Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

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

                Cool Down: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Slice and enjoy your delicious Banana Zucchini Bread toasted with a bit of butter or fresh out of the oven!
