Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup zucchini grated and excess water squeezed out
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Stir in grated zucchini, oil, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, fold in chocolate chips or chopped walnuts.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moist muffins, avoid overmixing the batter. You can store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
