This Zucchini Banana Bread is a wonderful choice for my Baking Days. I tripled the recipe because it’s a perfect bread to freeze.

Because I also deleted the nuts and most of the raisins, I did dump in a little bit of quick oats to absorb some of that excess moisture. I was experimenting with a very healthy version, so I cut back on the sugar content and used primarily all whole wheat flour, which explains the darker color. My intent was not to make it SO healthy that I deleted the butter, but it was still yummy. (No, I do not recommend no butter, but it’s a great bread recipe for all the zucchini this time of year.)
