Print Recipe

A moist and tender zucchini banana bread with melty chocolate chips that combines fresh garden veggies and ripe bananas for a simple, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible to get about 1 cup of well-drained zucchini.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but slightly chunky. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined and slightly fluffy.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini gently into the wet ingredients.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze excess water from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Fold ingredients gently to keep bread tender. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Let bread cool before slicing for best texture.
