Could’ve had a V8! Not so fast, try this chocolate zucchini banana bread instead. Yep, that’s right. This bread delivers a serving of fruit

Chocolate Banana Zucchini Bread
Why this recipe works: The zucchini’s high water content combined with the softness of the banana makes incredibly moist and dense texture. Even with those ingredients, there is still a tender crumb with each slice. Each bite has a morsel of melted chocolate. I chose to sprinkle the top of the load with extra chocolate chips to add a pretty finish.
The recipe is a quick bread recipe, which means is quick and easy to make! Use two bowls when making this chocolate zucchini banana bread. One bowl is for the dry ingredients and the other bowl is for the wet ingredients.
I prefer using a hand mixer or stand mixer to combine the wet and dry ingredients, but they can also be stirred together by hand. The latter method just requires a little more elbow grease! Transfer the batter to a prepared 9×5 loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with little to no crumbs.
Healthier Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe: How To Make It
Whenever baking with ripe bananas be sure they have a brown banana peel. The bananas are riper, softer and sweeter at this stage. This provides natural sugars to the chocolate banana zucchini bread. To make sure the bread is soft, pat the zucchini dry. If there is too much moisture in the bread then it will turn out mushy and dense.
As far as the chocolate goes, use whatever chocolate chips you have on hand (I prefer Ghirardelli) and the cocoa powder must be unsweetened. When stirring the dry and wet ingredients together, avoid over mixing as that will result in a dense loaf too.
Yes. Let the loaf cool completely, then wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before bringing to room temperature.
Triple Chocolate Banana Zucchini Bread
There was probably too much banana added or the zucchini wasn’t patted dry. When in doubt, weigh your ingredients for accurate measuring.
In my opinion, the best way to get my serving of fruits and vegetables is masked in chocolate. If you agree, then try my chocolate zucchini cake with chocolate buttercream frosting or double chocolate zucchini muffins.

I asked my mom the other day if she eversnuck veggies into my food without telling me, and she said “no” so fastthat I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. The right one…the left one doesn’t go up by itself.
But seeing how picky I was and how big on healthy food my mom was, I had a hard time believing that she wouldn’tresort to devious measures to get me to eat my veggies. And then the truth came out…
Double Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread
I mean… I don’t really rememberbut I guess it’spossible. I knowI really wanted you to eat fish so one time I told you it was chicken. That didn’t go over too well.
No it didn’t! And thanks, Mom. Thanks a lot. I almost forgot about that one. But that was the one and only time in my life that I ate fish, and I don’t see myself ever trying it again because…
I’m not really a fan of zucchini either, but I can turn a blind eye when chocolate and banana bread is involved.
Chocolate, Banana And Zucchini Bread Recipe
Ohhhhh, double chocolate zucchini banana bread… why you gotta go and make me soft towards the squishy squash?! I went so many years without wavering, and just like that, your chocolate-covered waysweakened my resolve.
I’ll never like fish, though. And I haven’t seen anyone put eggplant into baked goods yet, so I’ll probably never come around to that either.But I digress.
The point is, zucchini is kind of a miracle worker in baked goods. It doesn’t affectthe flavour at all, and it adds a tonne of moisture without the need for any extra oil… Bananas and Greek yogurt do the same thing, so combining the three makes for one ridiculously tender loaf that also happens to be pretty low in fat…
Perfect Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
Sorry, lost my train of thought there. I’m writing this while watching the Stanley Cup finals, and the Pens just scored to secure a 2-goal lead.What was I saying??… Oh yeah!
Then there’s the whole double chocolate thing. 1/2 cup of cocoa goes into the batter to give it adeep chocolateflavour, and another 1/2 cup of chocolate chips sweeten the deal. This makes the loafperfect straight from the oven when the chocolate is all melty (
), and just as perfect over the next few days as it gets better and better the waybanana breads tend to do.

* You could also make this with all purpose flour or use a mix of 1/2 cup (60 g) whole wheat and 1/2 cup (60 g) all purpose. ** You can sub this with regular brown sugar. *** I like to place a handful of shredded zucchini between two paper towels and lightly squeeze it over the sink to get some of the liquid out. You don’t want to get it all out, but you don’t want it to be wet and soggy either.

Healthy Banana Zucchini Bread
Did you ever play school when you were growing up? I totally did and I was pretty darn sure I was going to grow up to be a teacher. I didn’t. But I did grow up to be a banana bread lover. Not sure what that has to do with being a teacher, but it’s the truth.
Zucchini bread on the other hand, gross. I did not like the texture as a kid at all. I refused to eat it, which must have been so much fun for my parents. And then I slowly forgot about it until I became a food blogger. If there’s one thing pinterest doesn’t need more of it’s quick bread recipes, so obviously I chose to give you all one.
Not true? Well, either way I decided it was high time I tried this whole zucchini bread thing again and guess what, I was a total chicken about it. I mean, I couldn’t just jump in right? I’m a toe dipper in the pool for heaven’s sake! I needed a slow start so what better thing to try than a chocolate chip zucchini banana bread? And guess what? It’s so blasted delicious I’m going to try a zucchini bread tomorrow. All by myself. If I hate it, I’ll give it away to the neighbors, ha!
