Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8"x4" loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with the Greek yogurt using a mixer or fork until smooth. Fold in the grated zucchini.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the banana and zucchini mixture with the creamed mixture and mix until blended.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and mix by hand until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired. Bake for 60-70 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftovers lightly wrapped at room temperature for a few days.

Notes

Ensure the bananas are overripe for maximum sweetness.
For a healthier option, you can substitute half the butter with applesauce.
Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
