How to Make Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) for muffins or 350°F (175°C) for loaf.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas. Grate 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup). Add mashed bananas and zucchini to the wet ingredients.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Gently fold in 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips.
  7. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. **For Muffins:** Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each liner about 2/3 full.
  9. **For Loaf:** Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  10. **For Muffins:** Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. **For Loaf:** Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
