Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 medium zucchini, shredded and lightly squeezed
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated or brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Shred 1 medium zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  4. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
  5. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon (if using). Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the shredded zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips carefully to distribute evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Let bread cool before slicing for best flavor.
