Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 23 bananas)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
