Whole-Grain Banana Bran Zucchini Bread
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 very ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup raw sugar, such as turbinado or demerara
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup unprocessed bran
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking pan by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that the cake releases smoothly once it's baked.
3
In a large mixing vessel, combine pumpkin puree, mashed banana, egg, and egg whites. Using an electric mixer, blend these ingredients together until they form a harmonious union.
4
Add maple syrup, sugar, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue blending until the batter has a light, airy texture.
5
Introduce zucchini into the mixture and stir it in thoroughly. Set the batter aside, allowing its various components to meld together.
6
In a separate container, whisk together flour, bran, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice.
7
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture, stirring only until all components are moistened. Avoid over-mixing, as this can lead to a dense cake.
8
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and place it in the oven. Allow the cake to bake until a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean, typically taking 50-60 minutes.
9
Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing it into squares.
