Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is a tasty twist on the breakfast favorite with my family or as an afternoon snack. This quick Chocolate with Zucchini bread recipe is moist, sweet, and simple to make.perfectly moist on the inside and absolutely delicious! We first discovered it in Cooking magazine.

Have you ever shredded a zucchini and thought to yourself that it better be worth the effort Hhhh Well, I have had the same thought because the first time I made this bread, I completely forgot to squeeze out the zucchini and as a result, I ended up with a soggy loaf that even the dog gently refused to eat so that was definitely a lesson learned.

However, once I finally got it right, everything changed because the result was moist and chocolatey and had just the right touch of spice and what makes it even better is the fact that you can totally convince yourself it’s healthy since it does have vegetables in it after all.

This bread has now turned into a family favorite because it originally started as a clever way to use up the endless supply of garden zucchini since for some reason they grow like they’re on steroids and now it’s turned into a full-blown obsession so picture this a warm slice with a bit of butter along with a cup of coffee on the side and that right there is what I call heaven.

Have you ever tried zucchini bread with chocolate chips before because if you haven’t then you’re in for a real treat and if you have then I can promise you that you haven’t tried this version yet.
So let’s get started because there are no fancy mixers and no strange ingredients and what you get instead is simple and delicious comfort in the form of a loaf.

Ingredients :

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups grated zucchini about 1 medium zucchini
• ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9×5-inch baking pan or cover it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Next, grate the zucchini using a cheese grater. Don’t peel it; just wash and grate it. Gently squeeze it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, but don’t dry it out completely. You want some moisture in your bread!

Step 3

Now, mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir together and set aside. Then, mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl: oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add the zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

Step 4

Now, gently mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Don’t overmix; stir just until the flour is completely absorbed. Then, fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) using a spatula or spoon. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly.

Step 5

Now, bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the surface browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil after 40 minutes.

Step 6

Finally, you can let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

What to Eat with Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread ??

I usually eat this bread with warm tea on cold days and serve it to my children with warm chocolate milk. When the weather is hot, I like it with fruit juice or any cold drink. My children sometimes add a scoop of ice cream to it for dessert. I also like to add nuts to it or add butter or cream cheese. It is also wonderful.
