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

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. Stir together the pumpkin, banana, egg, and egg whites in a large bowl. Beat in maple syrup, sugar, and vanilla; the batter should be a bit frothy. Stir in zucchini; set aside.
3. Mix flour, bran, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice in a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture, stirring just to moisten all ingredients. Over-mixing the batter will make it tough.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
