One of the ways I use up the zucchini from our garden is to make zucchini bread. My family loves this recipe that a friend of mine gave me. Here is how to make the Zucchini Bread:

I work in a senior center and we were given some Zucchini by a man with a garden. I searched the internet and this is the recipe I chose. It was a huge hit. Thank you for the recipe.
I’m so glad it was a huge hit with everyone! My family loves this recipe too and want to make it all the time.
Have you made this recipe with bananas instead of zucchini? If so, how did it work out?
I haven’t made it with bananas, so I don’t know how it would turn out if you substituted bananas instead of zucchini. Lately, I’ve been using this banana bread recipe, and it’s really good. https://funcheaporfree.com/grandmas-famous-banana-bread-recipe/
