Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg with granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Stir the mashed banana into the wet mixture until fully combined.
5
Gently fold in the grated zucchini, making sure all excess water has been squeezed out first.
6
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
8
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
