Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a loaf pan or three mini loaf pans with butter or cooking spray. Note, you can also make this recipe into muffins. Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or 12 liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat together bananas, eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla. You can use a stand mixer, a hand mixer or your own two hands! If you’re hand mixing I like to use a fork. Seems to work better than a spoon.
Combine wet ingredients with dry until just combined.
Add in zucchini, carrots and walunts and stir until incorporated into batter. It should become more mixable at this point.
Bake for 50-60 minutes (loaf), 30-40 minutes (mini loaf), 18-22 minutes (muffins), or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Start checking the bread early. Baking times will vary depending on your oven. Let cool in pan for 10-15 minutes and then invert and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
