• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
• 1 cup Grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the muffin cups with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and grated zucchini until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
