Print Recipe

A moist and flavorful banana zucchini chocolate chip bread made with simple ingredients in one bowl, no mixer needed. Perfect for a quick snack or breakfast with a tender crumb and melty chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture (about 1 to 1¼ cups)
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar or a mix of white and brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil (can substitute melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini. Grate it finely using a box grater. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
  4. Stir in the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes by hand.
  5. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon evenly over the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent gummy bread. Mix ingredients gently to avoid tough texture. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free chocolate chips for dietary needs.
