Zucchini Banana Bread with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting
Zucchini banana cake, you guys I can’t tell you how good this is! Think banana bread meets zucchini bread and then made it a cake, and put this velvety frosting over the top! Its one bowl and really easy to make, and a great way to use up the end of those summer zucchinis. Theres some cinnamon and vanilla in there and really super moist (even though I hate that word, sorry) The cake is sweetened with honey or maple syrup and the bananas so it’s almost healthy right? You gotta give it a try it won’t last long!!

- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, (before squeezing out the water)
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
Grate the zucchini over a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess water. Then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl mix together the bananas, coconut oil, honey, eggs and vanilla until just combined. Then add in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until it’s all combined making sure to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Then stir in the grated zucchini and fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and when a toothpick is inserted it comes out clean.
Let it cool completely before the frosting.
To make the frosting whip together the unsalted butter and coco powder until smooth. Then add in the powdered sugar, sour cream and vanilla. Mix until everything is evenly combined. Spread over the cooled cake and enjoy!! Keep it refrigerated for up to a week! Enjoy!
