Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup grated zucchini, moisture squeezed out
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 5×9-inch loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix oil, vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth.
- Stir in mashed bananas and grated zucchini.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until combined.
- Mix in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 45–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan before removing and slicing.
Notes
- Add walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- Swirl in peanut butter before baking for added flavor.
- Bake as muffins for 18–20 minutes instead of a loaf.
- Replace some oil with applesauce to lighten it up.
