Equipment

9 x 5 Loaf Pan

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

½ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (40 g)
1 ½ cups Flour (180 g)
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

½ cup Vegetable Oil (125 ml) (or 1 stick unsalted butter- melted)
½ cup White Sugar (100 g)
½ cup Brown Sugar (110 g)
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Fold-In Ingredients:

2 cups Zucchini (shredded)(approximately 300 g or two medium zucchinis, patted dry)
¾ cup Bananas (ripe and mashed)(approximately 175 g or two medium bananas)
1 cup Chocolate Chips (175 g)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup white sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until well combined. Add in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the Good Stuff: Gently fold in the 2 cups shredded zucchini (make sure it’s patted dry), ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas, and 1 cup chocolate chips. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your moist, chocolaty banana zucchini bread!
