Description
A delightful treat that combines the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter with the sweetness of ripe bananas and the moisture of zucchini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, brown sugar, and eggs. Add the browned butter and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt (if using). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana-zucchini mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the batter into a prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- To reheat, microwave a slice for a few seconds.
- If freezing, slice the bread and wrap each piece individually.
