    This Banana Zucchini Bread makes a delicious and filling snack for the whole family! Based on my favourite Banana Bread recipe with the addition of grated zucchini, this loaf can also be made using wholemeal flour and coconut oil. Both regular and Thermomix intructions are included.

    This easy Banana and Zucchini Loaf was born when we found ourselves with a whole lot of zucchini to use up after Mr 5’s awesome effort in his veggie garden.  He was trying to grow ‘the biggest zucchini in the world’ and ended up with one that tipped the scales at just under 1 kilo.  This meant we were turning to ALL of our favourite zucchini recipes (like this Zucchini Slice, Cheese and Zucchini Mini Muffins and Zucchini Fritters) to use it all up and we also decided to try adding some to our favourite Banana Bread recipe.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • This Banana and Zucchini Loaf is delicious when enjoyed warm or cold.
    • Freezer friendly which makes it perfect for the kids lunchboxes.
    • Quick to prepare – you can be enjoying this loaf in under an hour and a half
    • Versatile – you can substitute the self-raising flour with wholemeal flour and add 2 teaspoon of baking powder. You can also substitute the butter for coconut oil.

    Tips for Making Banana Zucchini Bread:

    • Although tempting, don’t use more than 150 grams of banana as this will impact the consistency of the loaf.
    • You do not need to squeeze the excess moisture from the zucchini.
    • Coconut Oil can be used instead of butter.
    • You can use mini loaf tins to cook this recipe, please note the cook time will vary.
    • This loaf is best stored in an airtight container and enjoyed within four days.
    • You can freeze this recipe.

      Thank you for this lovely recipe!
      The Thermomix version turned out well, used olive oil instead of coconut oil / butter, cooked a little over time for skewer to come clean. Smells SO good, tastes great, don’t think it’ll make the freezer – definitely a keeper!
