I got this Zucchini Banana Bread recipe from a friend at work and now it's one of my favorites. It makes three small loaves, but they freeze very well. —Donna Hall, Wolfforth, Texas

This bread was so good I had to hide some so my husband could try it. I am making this every time I make zucchini bread !

I made 4 x's the recipe because I had a lot of bananas on hand and zucchini in the freezer from last summer. I omitted the walnuts and added chocolate chips and replaced half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. I made 8 mini loaves and a couple of large loaves too. I thought it was too sweet--but very delicious. Next time I think I'll just scale the sugar back a little.

This is by far my favorite bread! I have tried tons of different banana breads and none of them have been that great. This one is awesome! It's sooo moist and delicious. I don't have 3 small pans so I just used one regular 8 by 4 pan and it turns out beautifully everytime. I also didn't have banana extract so I just add more vanilla.

I loved this recipe. I didn't have banana extract, so I left that out. I have tons of zucchini from the garden, so I will be making this again!

I made the recipe as posted ingredient wise. However, I made it into muffins (12) and it was very good. Will make again.
