Dry Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 40 g
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 180 g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil 125 ml
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar 100 g
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed 110 g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini approximately 300 g or two medium zucchinis, patted dry
  • 3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas approximately 175 g or two medium bananas
  • 1 cup chocolate chips 175 g

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 5×9 loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, vanilla, and both sugars. Stir in the eggs, bananas, and shredded zucchini until well combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Gently incorporate the chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Slice and serve!

Notes

For maximum sweetness, use ripe bananas. Consider swapping half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. If desired, add chopped walnuts or spices like nutmeg for added flavor. To make it vegan, swap eggs for flax eggs and oil for applesauce.
