Zucchini Banana Bread

Vegan Zucchini Banana Bread without eggs or added fat


Dry Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup oat flour
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup date sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons walnuts

Combine dry ingredients and set aside.

Wet Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
2/3 cup shredded raw zucchini
1/4 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine wet ingredients in mixing bowl at low speed until bananas are mashed.  Add dry ingredients and mix just until all flour mixture is incorporated into wet mixture.  Pour into prepared bread pan, bake at 350 for 30 minutes, turn oven temperature down to 325 and continue baking for additional 40 minutes or until bread pulls away from sides of pan, or when toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Note:  I made a version of this with whole wheat flour and the texture was very different, course and dry.  It also didn't rise as high.
