Banana Zucchini Bread

While I was on the hunt to use up some zucchini, I came across this recipe, which also uses up some overly ripe bananas I had. As a child, the green squiggles in zucchini bread were my favorite. I also adored it filled with raisins and walnuts. This bread tasted more like banana bread, but with the green squiggles from the zucchini.
