Followed the recipe except I didn't All Purpose Flour so used Bread Flour instead. I also cut the banana extract and doubled the vanilla extract. It turned out very moist and yummy. My husband absolutely loved it. This recipe is a keeper!

My changes...I only had one small banana, so I added another half cup of zucchini. With all that zucchini, I decided to spice it up a little more and added nutmeg and mace. Finally, I'll probably never have banana extract - we just double the vanilla. It was delicious. :)

The bread is absolutely delicious. Very moist and flavorful. Only change, I did not have banana extract (which I don't like the flavor of it, too faky) I used 1/4 tsp. of almond extract. I baked them in the disposable foil mini pans, froze two and kept one out. Thanks for the recipe.
