Zucchini Banana Bread Best Healthy Bread Recipe

If you ask me to name my favorite anything—be it a favorite quick bread, muffin, healthy breakfast, or even day of the week—I’m not going to be able to answer without naming off at least three different options. I’ll probably text you later with my fourth and fifth. Making the category more specific won’t help either. I can’t even commit to a favorite individual zucchini bread recipe (Vegan Zucchini Bread? Chocolate Zucchini Muffins baked in loaf form?). And let’s not pretend I can play favorites with banana bread. (Paleo Banana Bread! No, classic Healthy Banana Bread! Or Oatmeal Banana Bread! Wait, Pumpkin Banana Bread. Ah, Cream Cheese Banana Bread, final answer!). Just kidding. It’s this easy zucchini banana bread (at least for today). This zucchini banana bread recipe is supremely moist, incredibly easy, and packed with delicious natural sweetness!

How to Make Zucchini Banana Bread

This healthy zucchini banana bread is a spinoff of my tried-and-true Healthy Zucchini Muffins with Chocolate Chips, which dozens of you have made with glowing reviews! I made a few modifications to the recipe to adapt it to loaf form, but the core ingredients are the same.

The Ingredients

Banana. The workhorse of healthy quick bread recipes. It’s naturally sweet and gives the bread moisture, meaning that baked recipes that call for banana can use less sugar and less oil and still taste fabulous.

Zucchini. Another secret to this moist zucchini banana bread. Also, such much virtuous green! This is justification for extra slices.White Whole Wheat Flour. This healthy bread is 100% whole grain (hooray for extra fiber and protein), but thanks to mild-tasting white whole wheat flour (which is milled from a lighter variety of wheat), you’ll never suspect its virtue. Honey. Warm, cozy, and a delicious way to naturally sweeten the bread. Maple syrup also works well. Coconut Sugar. A more natural way to sweeten the bread. Coconut sugar is widely available in most grocery stores and online here.

Spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg give the bread warmth and coziness.Coconut Oil. Just 1/4 cup is all you need. The banana and zucchini do the rest of the work to make this bread moist and tender.
