Recipe Added:  9/13/2019 
One Full or 4 Mini Loaves
1 3/4 cup flour 
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice 
1 cup mashed bananas (abt 2)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups zucchini, shredded 
Two Full or 8 Mini Loaves
3 1/2 cups flour 
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice 
2 cups mashed bananas (abt 4)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup melted butter 
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups zucchini, shredded
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease regular or mini loaf pan(s). Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice. Add bananas, egg, butter, sour cream and vanilla. Stir until just combined and a few dry streaks remain.

Add zucchini to batter, and stir until evenly combined (don't over-mix).  Spread batter evenly in prepared pan(s). (For mini loaves, place pans on large baking/cookie sheet.) Bake 50-60 minutes (or 28-30 for mini) until a toothpick or sharp knife inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Let bread cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before running a sharp knife around the edges to loosen and turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Pear, Banana, and Pecan Bread 
Replace zucchini with the same amount of yellow pears, firm then shredded. If desired, add 1/2 (single) or 1 cup (double) finely chopped pecans at the same time as the bananas. Bake 30-35 minutes. DELICIOUS!!
Notes
Yellow or green zucchini both work well in this recipe. Start with about 10 ounces of zucchini (2 small or medium) and end up with about 6-7 ounces once it is shredded. 

A Salad Shooter works great to shred the zucchini. Squeeze extra liquid out if needed after shredding. A potato masher can smash the bananas if they are very ripe. 

Muffins This will make about 14-16 muffins, depending on how full you fill the liners. Bake 15-17 minutes.

Made this before the July '19 Henry's Lake Vacation and froze the loaves. When thawed, they were delicious, moist, and not overly sweet.
