In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Then, grate the zucchini and add it to the bananas. This combo is where the magic begins!
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar. Pour this mixture into the banana-zucchini combo and stir until well blended.
Now, in another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix – we want that bread nice and tender! If you’re feeling fancy, toss in those chopped walnuts for a bit of crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve this delightful bread warm with a spread of butter, or enjoy it on its own. It’s perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even dessert!
