Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and brush the sides with oil.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork. Add sugar, olive oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Grate the zucchinis finely, squeezing out excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
Fold the grated zucchini into the banana mixture. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir gently until just combined.
If desired, fold in chocolate chips and walnuts for extra flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes until golden brown; use a toothpick to check doneness.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least three hours before slicing.
