Banana Zucchini Crumble Bread

Banana Zucchini Crumble Bread is a delicious way to use the garden harvest. Moist, full of flavor, and topped with a buttery crumble makes this a forever family favorite.

I love baking as fall approaches. I think the garden goodies from late summer are fantastic for baking and cooking, and one of my favorites is zucchini! My recipe for Banana Zucchini Crumble Bread is probably one of my favorite tried and true recipes- perfect for the loads of zucchini in gardens and at farmer's markets right now. This bread is so moist, and topped is a delicious buttery brown sugar topping that is so so so good.

The other day I made a banana bread recipe that everyone on social media raved was amazing. I was hesitant because the recipe called for 3 ripe bananas and over a cup of sugar. I was hesitant that it would be way to sweet. So, I made the bread and it was a disaster. I cooked it almost an hour and it sank and was soooooo sweet. I am still not sure what went wrong, but I immediately made this recipe because it never had failed me, and is so delicious. Don't we all need those tried and recipes- I know that I do!
