Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix together the oil, mashed banana, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla.
Grate the zucchini, squeeze out excess moisture, and mix it into the wet ingredients.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture along with the chocolate chips, mixing just until combined.
Distribute the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake for 17-18 minutes, until lightly springy on top.
Cool the muffins on a rack completely.

Notes

Grate the zucchini ahead of time to reduce prep time.
For added flavor, consider using flavored oil such as avocado or light olive oil.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
