Wow, do we have a treat for you today. These Zucchini Banana Muffins combine two of the most popular baked goods with absolutely heavenly results. They’re soft, they’re oh-so moist, and they have just the right amount of subtle sweetness. Honestly, we can’t believe it’s our first time whipping up a batch (but it will surely not be the last). Make them as a breakfast treat, midday snack, or after-dinner dessert– there’s no wrong time for these muffins!
Any fellow gardeners know the struggle of using up all those late-season zucchinis and this recipe is the perfect way to mix things up. For this batter you’ll need about 2 smaller zucchinis (but you can always make a double batch if you have more to use!) and 1-2 very ripe bananas. I pop my brown bananas in the freezer for occasions just like this. Start out by shredding your zucchini and draining it thoroughly by wrapping it in a clean tea towel (or paper towel) and giving it a good squeeze to remove excess moisture. This step is key because too much liquid can lead to soggy muffins, and nobody wants that!
Scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin and pop ‘em in the oven at 350°F for about 24-26 minutes. We recommend letting them fully cool before digging in so the liners peel off more easily. A difficult exercise in self control, we know. If you’re looking for a delicious way to sneak in some extra veggies give these Zucchini Banana Muffins a try!
