“I modified my usual recipe when I couldn’t find any zucchini at the grocery store,” relates Violet Rundels of Waverly, Ohio. “I used cooked squash from the freezer section instead, along with bananas. My family loves this bread.”

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup canola oil

1 cup frozen cooked winter squash, thawed
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
