Print Recipe

A moist and flavorful zucchini banana bread with melty chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or a snack. This easy recipe balances sweetness and moisture with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine side of a box grater. Place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and press gently to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and slightly fluffy.
  5. Fold the shredded zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Avoid overmixing to keep bread tender. Cool completely before slicing. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
