#1,626: Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Bread

I had two things sitting in my fridge/counter that needed to get used up: zucchini and bananas.  So what does one do?  Make zucchini banana bread of course!  I made these for the girls to eat for breakfast at school and they loved this recipe.  The loved that it tasted like banana bread.  I loved that it has a veggie in it!  It was really simple to make, but took forever to bake (like probably 80-90 minutes!).  I seriously am starting to wonder if something is wrong with my oven!  Hopefully yours won't take that long to bake. 

1½ cups mashed bananas - approximately 4 ripe bananas

¾ c brown sugar

6 Tbsp butter, softened

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1½ c grated zucchini

¾ c all-purpose flour

½ c wheat flour

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ c mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.

Peel and mash the bananas.

Stir in brown sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla until well combined.  Stir in grated zucchini.

Combine dry ingredients and and add to the wet ingredients stirring just until combined.  Stir in chocolate chips and pour mixture into prepared pan.

Bake for 60-70 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.  Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.
