Ingredients of vegan zucchini bread
This zucchini banana bread is an easy recipe with common pantry baking ingredients. You will need -
Flour - I have taken refined flour. For gluten-free zucchini bread, take gluten-free oat flour or other gf flour mix.
Baking powder, baking soda
Zucchini - 1 cup grated and not squeezed (1 large or 1 1/2 medium)
Banana - ripe bananas mashed (1 cup or 2 bananas)
Milk - plant-based milk (I have taken unsweetened almond milk)
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Oil - Any vegetable oil will do. To make this oil-free, substitute this with apple sauce.
2 flax egg - 2 tbsp flax meal + 4 tbsp water. Refrigerate for 15 minute to set.
Optional Add-ins - chocolate chips, nuts like cashews or walnuts or raisins.
Instructions -
Mash the bananas. Grate zucchini (with skin) using a box grater. In a large mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, a pinch of salt passing through a sieve.
Now add mashed banana, grated zucchini, cinnamon powder, salt to the bowl. Then add oil, milk to the mixture and mix all nicely. Don't overmix, a few lumps are okay. Add milk gradually in batches while making the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Preheat the oven at 350 F or 180 C. Put in the loaf pan and cook for 50 minutes. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick. And if it comes out clean then it's done. Otherwise, bake for another 5 minutes or till it comes out clean.
