1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup mashed banana 2-medium size bananas
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

PART 3:

1 and ½ cups grated zucchini
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup pecans chopped

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line a 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl sift together the dry ingredients listed under Part 1.
In a medium size bowl add the ingredients listed in Part 2 and beat well using an electric hand mixer or use a whisk.
Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix it well. Make sure that the flour is incorporated well with the wet mix but do not over mix.
Stir in the zucchini, chocolate chips and nuts.
Mix together everything and add a splash of water or milk if the batter is too thick.
Pour the bread batter into the prepared bread loaf pan.
Bake it at 350F/180C for 50-60 min or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool the bread in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Wait for the bread to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use vegan chocolate chips/carob chips to make this bread 100% vegan.

This time, the bananas were very ripe, and with ¾ cup of sugar plus the chocolate chips, the bread turned out a bit too sweet for my taste. I could have cut back a few tablespoons of sugar to balance it out.

Taste & Texture

This banana chocolate chip zucchini bread is sweet, chocolaty, and has a light hint of banana and cinnamon. It’s super moist, soft, and packed with gooey chocolate chips, with a nice crunch from the walnuts in every bite.
