    Soft, moist and full of homemade, wholesome ingredients, these Banana Zucchini Muffins are a delicious treat for any occasion. From a breakfast muffin to a tasty dessert, it’s a great way to use leftover Zucchini and over ripe bananas!

    These Banana Zucchini Muffins just may be your new favorite treat! I’ve always loved to bake with bananas. From Banana Blueberry Muffins to Apple Banana Bread and Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, I always love how moist and tender Bananas make all my baked goods!

    And, if you’ve ever baked with Zucchini, you know how delicious that can be as well. Our Chocolate Zucchini Cake is one of our most popular dessert recipes. It’s tough to explain exactly what happens when you put Zucchini into baked goods. It certainly adds moisture, but also a really delicious texture. But honestly you don’t even know that it’s zucchini doing it unless you look closely and see the little green specks in it!

    I am able to fool my kids every time by baking with Zucchini! They love it and it’s a great way to sneak some vegetables into their diet!

    Banana Zucchini Muffins

    Today, we are combining my love of bananas and my fascination with zucchini! These Banana Zucchini Muffins are easy to make, delicious to eat and everyone in your family will love them!

    Ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need:

    • 2 cups flour
    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 egg
    • ¼ cup oil
    • ¾ cup milk
    • 1 ripe banana, mashed
    • 1 cup grated/shredded zucchini
    • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

    Banana Zucchini Muffins Recipe

    What Is The Best Way To Shred Zucchini?

    The most time consuming part of this recipe is probably preparing the Zucchini. You don’t need to worry about skinning it. But you do want to scrub the outside to make it nice and clean. I’d cut off each end so that it’s easier to work with.

    If you have a larger Zucchini with lots of seeds in it, I’d cut it in half lengthwise and scoop the seeds out.

    From there, you just need the best way to grate it.

    1. Cheese Grater– You probably have one of these. It will certainly work, but can be a little tough to handle with the Zucchini.
    2. Food Processor with Shredder Attachment– This will make quick work of your Zucchini, but they are a pain to clean up!
    3. Mandolin-If you have one of these, this is probably your best option! Should make the job go pretty quickly and they are super easy to clean!

    One important note on the Zucchini is to make sure to pat it dry with paper towel after you grate or shred it. You want to get as much excess moisture out as you possible can. Trust me, this is important.

    How To Serve and Store Banana Zucchini Muffins

    You can serve these muffins either room temperature or warm. I love putting mine in the microwave for about 10 seconds and serving it with a pat of butter.

    But they are also perfectly tasty to just grab and go!

    Your Banana Zucchini Muffins should be fine stored in an covered container at room temperature for about 3 days. If you want to extend that a couple days, you can put them in the fridge.

    You can freeze Banana Zucchini Muffins. Just let them fully cool and wrap them in freezer wrap or a freezer bag. They need to thaw about 3 hours at room temperature before eating. I like to wrap them all up individually, so that you can just thaw out what you need as you go. They should be good in the freezer for about 3 months.

    Notes, Tips and Variations

    • CHOCOLATE CHIPS – We used Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. But go for milk chocolate or even dark chocolate if that sounds good to you.
    • WALNUTS – Crush some walnuts and mix them in with the batter before baking for some extra taste and texture.
    • COCONUT FLAKES – Top your Banana Zucchini Muffins with some Coconut Flakes for a nutty, sweet topping!
    • BANANAS – Make sure you use RIPE bananas. The riper the better!
    • DON’T OVERFILL – A common mistake when making muffins is to overfill the tray. Make sure you are only filling up each space about 2/3 of the way. If you put too much in it will spill over when it rises!

    I hope you enjoy this recipe for Banana Zucchini Muffins! Let me know how it works out for you in the comment section!
