Banana – Zucchini Bread

Updated: May 2020

I had zucchini and a few bananas and I badly wanted to use them, before they go bad. I could not find enough motivation to consume as is and that is when I found this 🙂 Thanks to my aunt who shared her recipe with me.

This is the ultimate healthy recipe you can have with a cup of milk, coffee, or tea. This has a vegetable, fruit(s), nuts, seeds. More importantly, this recipe has no egg, butter, oil, or sugar. Thank me later 🙂

Ingredients:

• Medium-sized Zucchini – 2
• Large ripen banana – 1
• Wheat flour – 1 1/2 cups (You could use all-purpose flour too)
• Jaggery Powder – 1 cup
• Ground flax seeds – 1/2 cup
• Baking Soda – 1tsp
• Baking powder – 1 tsp
• Salt – 1/4 tsp
• Cinnamon powder – 1 tsp
• Milk – 3/4 cup whole milk
• Applesauce – 1/4 cup (I used store-bought)
• Pure vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp

Procedure: 

• In a bowl mash the banana with a fork.
• Add all the other ingredients and whisk the mixture well.
• In the end, add the grated Zucchini. The green skin of the Zucchini looks beautiful in the muffin 🙂
• Line a bread pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter.
• Sprinkle shredded almonds and walnuts on the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40-45 min (until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake).
• Cool it completely before serving.

Muffins

• You could use this batter to make muffins. This batter yields about 15-20 muffins.
• Bake for about 20 minutes.

Notes:

• If you do not wish to compromise on the texture, you could use all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour.
• You can substitute one egg for applesauce.
• You can use brown sugar or even white sugar instead of jaggery powder.
