These Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins have me convinced. Baking with zucchini is life changing! This was my first time incorporating zucchini into baked goods. I must say, I am totally a convert! I usually freeze a portion of my muffins so that I can pop one in the microwave, and over time the muffins will become dry. Zucchini definitely helps with that! Now I have to test adding zucchini to everything I’ve ever baked…but I digress.
I baked these on a 12 muffin tin pan but you can also use the batter for a loaf or for mini muffins. While I haven’t tested this myself, you can adjust the temperature down 50 degrees and cook 60-70 minutes for a loaf or until the tester comes out clean or with some dry crumbs attached. For mini muffins, adjust the cook time down by 8 minutes or so.
This recipe does call for a ripe banana, which is low FODMAP in 1.16 oz according to the Monash University app, which is about one third of a banana. So it might go without saying, but if you’re anything like me then you might need to hear this: try not to eat more than 4 muffins in one sitting (and of course enjoy as you can tolerate!).

Zucchini Banana Bread Muffins – Low FODMAP, Gluten Free, Dairy Free
Ingredients
- 2 eggs large
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1 1/2 cup Bob Red Mill’s 1:1 gluten free baking flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup zucchini, unpeeled and shredded
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chocolate chips optional, could use nuts
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F and grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs while stirring in sugar and oil until consistency is smooth.
- Add and mash banana into mixture. Combine well.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir into egg mixture until evenly mixed.
- Stir in zucchini and optional chocolate chips or nuts just until combined.
- Bake 18-21 minutes, until toothpick test comes out clean.
Notes
- You could use muffin cups instead of greasing the muffin pan. This will result in less browned sides and easier cleanup.
- 1.16 ounces of a ripe banana is low FODMAP according to the Monash University app. This is about 1/3 of a banana or about 4 of the muffins. Do eat according to your tolerance!
