Zucchini Banana Bread

Farms are BURSTING with zucchini around here.  I love it, because I am stocking the freezer with so many great treats.  I've already made Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins, and Zucchini Raisin Cookies.  I've probably got another 2 or 3 recipes printed.

I don't know what it is with my guys.  If I buy 7 bananas, they'll eat 5. If I buy 5, they'll eat 3.  There's something about those last 2 bananas! I'm pretty sure it's because they know if they leave them, I'll bake them into something delicious.

This recipe is great to use up those bananas, plus some of the zucchini that's overtaking the farm stands right now.  Since we have nut allergies here, I swapped out the nuts for mini cinnamon chips.  This one is great for breakfast, dessert, midnight snack.  Thank you so much to Donna H. for sharing her recipe!
