Zucchini Banana Bread
Zucchini Banana Bread combines mashed ripe bananas and shredded unpeeled zucchini into a moist quick bread with warm spices like cinnamon. The bread has a tender crumb enhanced by the moisture from zucchini and banana, balanced with sugar and leavened with baking powder and soda. It is baked in loaf pans until a toothpick comes out clean, resulting in a flavorful, textured bread.

Notes
- Use slightly overripe bananas with brown speckles for best flavor and sweetness.
- Measure flour accurately by weighing or by spooning into the measuring cup and leveling off to avoid dry or dense bread.
- There is no need to peel or squeeze the zucchini before adding to the batter.
- If the bread browns too quickly in the oven, tent with aluminum foil during the remaining baking time.
