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:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper.
- Grate the zucchini and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, squeezing firmly to remove excess water.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Stir the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- 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.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
