In a large bowl combine banana, zucchini, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla. Stir well until combined.
3
Add all remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips and stir until just blended (don't overmix, or it the muffins will be tough!)

Notes
- This recipe was EXCELLENT, but the cinnamon only provided a mild flavor.
- This batch allowed for 12 full size muffins and 24 mini muffins
- The mini muffins were finished baking first, and the regular size muffins required some extra time
