{egg free} Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

So, I have bananas left AND I have zucchini....what can I make?  (Egg-free) Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread of course!!  It just came out of the oven (and I immediately ate some) and it is so good I had to begin blogging about it immediately.  I sort of combined two recipes, one from For the Love of Cooking (Chocolate Chip and Walnut Zucchini Bread) and one from Madhuram's Eggless Cooking (Eggless Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread).  I guess I made enough changes to warrant typing out the recipe - it's going to seem strange, but it is ooooh soooo good!

{egg free} Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

• 2 very ripe medium sized bananas
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 cups raw, grated zucchini
• 3 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 4 oz. jar of baby food carrots or 1/2 cup cooked and pureed carrots
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup of mini chocolate chips - I used a very well rounded 3/4 cup :)

I then followed the directions from For the Love of Cooking recipe - My loaf pan was larger than 8x4, so I made one loaf and 6 muffins. 

The muffins cooked in about 30 minutes I think.  They are so moist and delicious and the kids didn't even complain about the flecks of green!!  (and they have no clue I added the carrots.)  They were moist enough with the bananas that I think I could use all whole wheat flour next time, and I love that I was able to cut the sugar in half!! 

This really was the best I've made, so I will definitely be making this again.  I also LOVE sneaking veggies into my kids!!  I have some other zucchini recipes to try, but only have a couple of zucchini left, because unfortunately, my zucchini plants died :(   (Can I say zucchini one more time?)  I think they suffered dehydration and heat stroke.
