Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana, pure maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, shredded zucchini. (We'll be adding the coconut oil later.)
- Slowly stir in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until smooth, then stir in the melted and cooled coconut oil.
- Divide batter in half; adding half of the batter to a seperate medium bowl. Stir in the cocoa powder, almond milk and ¼ cup chocolate chips into one of the batters, mixing until just combined.
- Spoon half of the regular batter into prepared loaf pan, then top with half of the chocolate batter. Repeat with remaining regular batter and chocolate batter. Swirl the batters together with a knife just a few times (do not overdo this or the batters will start to come together and look crazy). Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on the wire rack to cool completely.

BANANA-ZUCCHINI BREAD
My grandmother made this zucchini banana bread for as long as I can remember, and I've been making it ever since I learned how to bake. Children love it for a snack, and it's good to serve at any meal. It's another delicious way to use zucchini, which is so abundant in late summer. -Eva Mae Hebert, Lafayette, LA

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. In one bowl, mix the eggs, cooking oil, mashed banana, vanilla, zucchini, and sugar. Let it set until the sugar has partly dissolved (about 15 minutes). Mix in melted chocolate (chocolate will not dissolve completely, giving the bread a slightly marbled look).
- In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts.
- Sift the dry ingredients slowly into the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed and pour into loaf pans coated in baking spray. Bake for approximately one hour. Makes two loaves.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots on the skin.
- Use a grater for the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps it blend seamlessly into the batter and adds moisture without making the bread too dense.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the bread is cooked through without being overbaked.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This helps the bread set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
