This is a simple, reliable recipe for chocolate chip zucchini bread that yields a soft, moist loaf perfect for beginners. Use up your summer zucchini in this easy homemade quick bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the squeezed, grated zucchini and the chocolate chips until they distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeezing the excess water from the grated zucchini is the secret to a moist, tender loaf that is not soggy. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to press out as much liquid as possible.
  • For a richer flavor, use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.
  • If you want a double chocolate zucchini loaf, toss the chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking.
