Banana Zucchini Bread

As the end of summer approaches, there seems to be an abundance of zucchini around. We unfortunately did not grow any this year, but people are always bringing in their extras to work that I snatch up. I am a sucker for banana bread and zucchini bread separately, so why not combine the two?? The result?, this delicious recipe.  It is a combination of a couple of different recipes I have tried, with an attempt to make it a little healthier. The result is delicious and the loaf does not last long between Chris and myself.

Yields: 2 loaves, Cook time: 50-60 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

2 bananas

1 1/2 cup shredded zucchini
