* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 2 large eggs
* 3/4 cup granulated white sugar

In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugars, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir in banana. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture, mixing only until combined. (Small lumps will bake out.) Fold in zucchini and pecans.

Notes: Do use self-rising flour for this recipe. All-purpose flour will make it too dense and gummy.
