Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe bananas
2 medium zucchini
½ cup sugar
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup almond milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix in sugar, olive oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture before folding into the banana mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Optionally fold in chocolate chips and walnuts for added flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling on a wire rack before slicing.
