Whole Wheat Zucchini Banana Bread Food

ZUCCHINI BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs two sides like handles, then lightly grease again.
• Thoroughly squeeze the shredded zucchini with a paper towel to remove as much excess water as possible. Repeat as needed.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer or a large mixing bowl, beat the mashed banana with the honey, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. (You can also use a whisk and some elbow grease and mix the batter by hand.) Add the eggs (make sure they are room temperature or the coconut oil may resolidify), then mix again until smoothly combined. If the coconut oil does resolidify, microwave the bowl in 10-second bursts, just until the coconut oil reliquifies.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt over the top of the batter. Mix to combine. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the top, then mix on very low speed, just until the flour disappears. By hand, fold in the zucchini and the nuts or chocolate chips (if using), stopping as soon as it's mostly evenly blended. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick or thin, sharp knife such as a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean two tests in a row. (You want to test for a clean knife more than once, as moist quick breads can be tricky to tell; if in doubt, take the bread's temperature on an instant-read thermometer. It's done when it reaches 195 degrees F.). I like to check the bread at the 30-minute mark and tent it with aluminum foil if the bread is browning too quickly at the corners, then continue baking as directed.
• Once the bread is baked, place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Lift the bread from the pan using the parchment paper, and place the loaf on the rack to finish cooling completely. Slice and enjoy!

• Add dry ingredients to banana mixture alternately with hot water.
• Stir in chopped nuts.
• Cut a piece of waxed or parchment paper the size of the bottom of your loaf pan.
• (This helps the loaf come out in one piece while still warm).
• Put the paper in the loaf pan and spray the pan well with non-stick spray.
• Scoop the batter into the pan.
• Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for one hour and 10 minutes.
• Test with a cake tester to make to make sure it's done.
• Sometimes it takes a little bit longer.
• If the top gets too brown, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil so it doesn't get too much darker.
