Please not for this recipe: do not ring out the zucchini shreds because the liquid is needed for the recipe. Keep in mind that the batter will be thick when you’re done mixing it. The lemon juice is added to the recipe to interact with the baking soda and help the loaf rise. And of course, you can add in chocolate chips, walnuts or any thing you prefer. You can also add in coconut sugar to sweeten it up a bit. I like to toast my slices and drizzle with honey or maple syrup.

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 5 minutes mins
Cook Time: 55 minutes mins
Total Time: 1 hour hr
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, (1½ cups mashed)
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice (or vinegar)
- 2 cups rolled oats (processed into flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350℉. LIne a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mash your bananas and then add in the zucchini shreds (do not ring out the liquids), eggs, vanilla and lemon juice – mix to incorporate. Next add in the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and do a final mix to combine. Transfer to your loaf pan and bake for 50 -55 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Check the loaf at the 35 minute mark and loosely throw over a piece of aluminum if the top is getting too tan.
Once its out of the oven, let it sit in the pan for 20 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool for another 20 minutes prior to slicing.
Notes
If you have oat flour, use 1 1/2 cups oat flour.
The lemon juice is used to interact with the baking soda and help the loaf rise.
You can add in 1/4 – 1/3 cup coconut sugar to sweeten it up a bit.
You can add in chocolate chips or nuts or raisins to the mixture at the end.
I enjoy my slices toasted with some honey or maple syrup drizzled on top!

I added walnuts and choc chips and it came out amazing, but I baked mine for 38 min, NOT 50-55 like the directions. It came out perfect this way, with browning on top and perfectly moist in middle. Not sure what’s up with the author’s oven because this is the 2nd banana bread recipe where the time instructed to bake is way longer than necessary.

Hello, sorry for any confusion but all ovens run different. For example i used to have a gos oven in my old house and it was so much stronger than my current electric oven.
I’m glad that you enjoyed the loaf though! Cheers!- Reply

I love all of your receipts. But I do have one question. The nutrition is based on how many slices or it goes by the weight? Thank you
