Banana Zucchini Bread

I saw a picture of zucchini bread somewhere online last week and have been craving it ever since.  After browsing a few recipes, I came up with my own.  Rich's dad always added banana to his zucchini bread, so in honor of Bill this recipe boasts some banana!

Zucchini!

Moist ingredients

DELICIOUS!!
