Ingredients

2 cups quick oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups banana approximately 3 large bananas
1 medium zucchini moisture squeezed out
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a loaf pan and set aside.
Add the oats, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, banana, zucchini, maple syrup, eggs, and milk to a blender or food processor. Blend until a very smooth batter remains. Fold through the chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter into the lined pan. Add extra chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs is great).
Remove the bread from the oven and let cool completely, before slicing.

Notes

Zucchini: I tried this with all kinds of zucchini sizes, and medium (around 6 ounces) was ideal. Don't worry if your zucchini is smaller or larger. As long as the moisture is removed, you'll be fine.
Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats.
Leftovers: Store at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze slices for up to 6 months.
