Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (approx. 1 ½ cups / 340g)
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- ½ tsp (3g) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- 1 cup (150g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out excess water.
- Mash bananas in a small bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, then stir in the mashed bananas until the mixture is velvety and well-combined.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt directly into the wet base.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the flour into the batter until no more streaks of white flour are visible.
- Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased and parchment-lined 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
