Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch of the master moist banana bread batter through step 5
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini squeezed very dry in a towel (this is critical)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Method
 

  1. Squeeze your grated zucchini until it’s very dry. This prevents a soggy loaf and ensures pure moisture magic.
  2. Prepare the master batter through step 5. Fold in the dried zucchini, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Bake as directed. It may need the full 65+ minutes—keep testing with that toothpick.
  4. Cool completely. This one benefits from an overnight rest, letting the flavors meld perfectly.

Notes

The texture is unreal—incredibly springy, tender, and yes, incredibly moist. The zucchini makes the banana flavor pop, and the spices add a wonderful warmth. It’s a secretly wholesome version of your new favorite moist banana bread.
