Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar (130 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 200 grams mashed banana (about 3/4 cup)
  • 100 grams grated zucchini (about 1 cup) with the liquid squeezed out
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (50 g) (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Grate the zucchini, squeeze out the excess liquid, and set aside. Chop the walnuts and set aside. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas.
  • In another medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Next, whisk in the mashed bananas. Add about half of the flour mixture and whisk until almost combined. Switch to a large spoon and add the remainder of the flour mixture, as well as the zucchini and walnuts, and stir until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake at 350° F (180° C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Store at room temperature for about 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
