Last weekend I went home to Gettysburg and stopped at one of the many local produce stands. Among all of the fall pumpkins, quash, and apples, I came across the last of some summer zucchini. I wasn’t sure what I was going to make with it, then I got back to my apartment I realized I had some brown bananas that need to be used. I decided to make a zucchini banana hybrid bread.
Mix up sugar eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, and zucchini.
Then add in the dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Scoop the batter into greased muffin tins.
Then I made a super easy topping of brown sugar, cinnamon, and coconut to go on top.
Toss them in the oven, and prepare for your house to smell amazing.
Once they’re golden brown take them out of the oven and let them cool.
Pour yourself a nice cold mug of milk and enjoy!
These muffins are a great combination of two traditional breads, zucchini and banana, they’re sweet with a touch of cinnamon and a hint of coconut.
