Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 225g)
  • 1 cup (150g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • ½ cup (115g) melted unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, squeezing firmly to remove excess water.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture.
  6. Using a spatula, fold in one-third of the flour mixture, then half of the banana mixture, alternating until just combined. Stop as soon as flour streaks disappear to avoid over-mixing.
  7. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
