Zucchini - Banana - Pumpkin bread

Cream:
4 cups sugar
1 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup pumpkin
1/3 cup sour cream
1 ripe banana

Add:
2 tsp. salt
6 eggs
2 Tablespoons vanilla
4 teaspoons soda
2 Tablespoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Mix and Add:

4 cups shredded zucchini

6 cups flour

1 bag if chocolate chips.
Try not to overmix flour.

Bake in 4 loaf pans at 325 degrees for 45-55 minutes. (Toothpick test will tell you if it's done.)

This was what was in the fridge and needed to go.  You could cut this in half and make two loaves, but why? When  you have zucchini, you are trying to get rid of it, yes? Make some and give it to your neighbors.
I think the last time I made this, I was too horrified to put in 4 cups of sugar. I reduced it to three and added a heaping cup of pumpkin instead of 3/4.

Zucchini Bread

Cream:

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 cups sugar
3 eggs

Add:

1 tsp. salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
A sprinkling of nutmeg
A sprinkling of cloves
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups shredded zucchini

Mix and then add:

3 cups flour
a handful of chocolate chips
1 cup coconut (optional)

Bake at 325 for 45 -55 minutes. Use toothpick method to see that is cooked completely.

I hesitate to put this on the blog. Doesn't everyone have a recipe for zucchini bread? It's so easy and such a great way to use your summer vegetables. This one saves you a bit of fat by using only a half a cup of oil. My kids won't eat the coconut, so I do have to make it without it, fairly often. I think it sweetens it up quite a bit though. I have to have chocolate chips. Then I feel like I'm eating dessert.

Banana/Zucchini Bread

2/3 cup soft butter
2/3 cup butter flavored crisco
3 cups sugar
Cream very well.

Add
4 eggs
3 very ripe bananas
1 heaping cup shredded zucchini
1/2 cup of milk soured with 1 Tablespoon vinegar,
or use 1/2 cup of buttermilk
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla
Mix well

Add
4 cups flour
Mix flour until white streaks are gone, being careful not to over mix.

Bake in four loaf pans at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.


I had both bananas and zucchini and was looking for a way to use both. Tyler suggested it should be called Zubana bread or Alexa suggested Bazini bread.

Banana Bread

1/3 cup soft butter
1/3 cup crisco (butter flavor)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup bananas (3 very ripe bananas.)
1/4 cup milk, soured with 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour

Cream butter, crisco, and sugar very well. Add eggs, bananas, sour milk and mix again. Add vanilla, baking powder, and soda. Add flour last, mixing flour as little as possible.
Pour into three loaf pans and bake for at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Mini-loaf banana bread will take around 25 minutes.

You must grease and flour pans or it will stick.

For years, I've heard people say this is the best banana bread they have tasted. I thought it was perfected. Had the idea this year to try both butter and crisco. It was so much better, I was shocked. Now, I really can say it is perfect.
