Zucchini Banana Bread

Do you know what’s my favorite thing about winter? Baking, of course. I made this zucchini banana bread a couple of weeks ago when it was freezing here in Adelaide.

I’ve been experimenting with zucchinis a lot lately. After my successful attempts with zucchini chocolate cake and vegan zucchini balls, I’m happy to introduce you to my next zucchini favorite, this moist and delicious bread.

Generally, I don’t make breads on a regular basis. But this banana bread filled with zucchinis has taken a special place in my “most loved recipes” collection.

So what’s so special about this bread? Its super moist - thanks to the zucchinis and bananas in it. Its dairy free and healthy. And totally YUM!
