Ingredients
- – 1/2 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- – 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking powder
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) cinnamon
- – 1/2 cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated white sugar
- – 1/2 cup (110 g) light brown sugar, packed
- – 2 large eggs
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) 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 (175 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and coat a 5×9 loaf pan with non-stick spray, then put it aside.
- Combine the cocoa, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
- In a larger bowl, blend the oil, vanilla, and both types of sugar. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and grated zucchini, stirring until everything is well mixed.
- Gently incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix lightly.
- Transfer the batter into the loaf pan you prepared earlier, and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool fully before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini is thoroughly dried before adding to the wet ingredients to prevent excess moisture.
- For a healthier twist, swap some vegetable oil with applesauce to lower the fat content.
- Enhance the bread by mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
