Equipment
- 1 9 inch loaf pan
- mixing bowls
- hand mixer or stand mixer
- measuring cup
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana about 1 1/2 bananas
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1/4 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugar and butter beating at medium speed until fluffy. On low-speed, add the zucchini, banana, milk, greek yogurt and eggs mixing until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Keeping the mixer on low-speed and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat just until blended. Add the chocolate chips and stir briefly.
- Pour the batter into a 9×5 inch metal loaf pan coated with cooking spray and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Remove from pan and cool on rack.
Notes
- For best results, use very ripe bananas and finely grated zucchini. If the zucchini seems watery, squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel before adding it to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added. Stir just until combined for the most tender loaf.
- Bake for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the loaf with foil during the last 10–15 minutes of baking.
- Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and warm individual slices in the microwave for 15–20 seconds, if desired.
