A moist, rich loaf bread combining grated zucchini, ripe banana, and chocolate chips for a decadent snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in the mashed bananas and the squeezed, grated zucchini until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated zucchini very dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth to prevent a soggy loaf.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • You can substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
