Banana Zucchini Bread

This bread is similar to banana bread but with the addition of zucchini it just gets better. At this time of year I am always looking for ways to use the zucchini in my garden and trust me this is a winner. This recipe makes two loaves, eat one now and throw the other one in the freezer for another day.

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
