For something a little different, you really need to try this easy Banana and Zucchini Loaf recipe!

Easy Banana and Zucchini Loaf Recipe. Great for the kids, lunchbox friendly and Thermomix instructions also 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.

It took us a couple of (delicious!!) tries to get the right ratio of  banana and zucchini and we are super happy with the end result.  This Banana and Zucchini Loaf is delicious when enjoyed warm or cold and it’s also freezer friendly which makes it perfect for the kids lunchboxes.

When making this recipe, you can also substitute the melted butter for liquid coconut oil if you prefer and you can also use frozen bananas too – just let them defrost a little before mashing them.

Enjoy!
