Notes
- It's best to have all the ingredients at room temperature, This will help with the process of making banana bread and consistency of the batter.
- I almost always use sour cream, buttermilk or yogurt in my banana bread recipes. However, for this tasty zucchini banana bread , this recipe doesn't use any of them because grated zucchini keeps the banana bread quite moist.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing. If I make the banana bread in the evening, I always let it cool until morning and then it slices perfectly.
- For breakfast, you can toast this banana bread and serve it with some almond or peanut butter.
- Even though this easy banana bread has zucchini in it, because of the 1/2 cup butter, it's not considered the healthiest banana bread. If you're looking for a healthy banana bread recipe, check out my pumpkin banana bread.
