Zucchini, Banana, Chocolate Bread

One weekend I was given some zucchinis or what we call in New Zealand courgettes, I had some frozen bananas, a few packets of leftover chocolate chips in the pantry and muffin wraps from my FoodieBox. I then decided to combine all of them together to make some muffins I never made before. This post is more of an experiment but partly I would know how it would turn up as I will be basing this recipe from my zucchini bread and banana cake which both proved to be very moist. From there I would add some cocoa and some chocolate chips to give that flavour everybody wants.

The result was amazing, it was moist, fluffy and chocolaty with hints of banana definitely this will be repeated a lot of times at home.
