Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Super moist, soft, deliciously sweetened with brown sugar and loaded with chocolate chips, this chocolate chip zucchini bread is slightly (extremely!) addictive. You will be asking for more!

As you may have noticed, I’m obsessed with the idea of sneaking veggies into desserts (check my Easy Carrot Cake, Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Bread, Beetroot Cake with Vanilla Frosting, etc.). The addition of veggies usually results in extremely moist cake recipes. It’s also a great way to increase your veggie intake, although I swear you won’t taste them in your baked goods.

The BEST chocolate chip zucchini bread

If you’ve never used veggies in your baking, this chocolate chip zucchini bread is a great way to start (if not the best)! Seriously, I’ve been obsessed with this recipe for years, I’ve baked it dozens of times (and counting), and it’s a hit every single time. Really, this recipe is a keeper.

You will find some similarities with my chocolate chip banana bread (a recipe I know you guys are obsessed about). Both recipes yield extremely moist quick breads, packed with incredible flavors and loaded with chocolate chips.

Here’s why you should make this chocolate chip zucchini bread:

• Easy to make ✔
• Deliciously sweetened with brown sugar ✔
• Perfectly moist and tender ✔
• Loaded with chocolate chips ✔

How to make chocolate chip zucchini bread?

When it comes to the recipe, it doesn’t get any easier. Prepare two bowls, a whisk, a loaf pan, and count about 10 minutes to make it. Ready? Let’s jump in:

1. Start with mixing all the dry ingredients together in one bowl (minus the chocolate chips).
2. In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients (minus the zucchini), and add to the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
3. Grate the zucchini (no need to squeeze out the liquid) using a grating box, gently fold in into the batter and add chocolate chips.
4. Pour into the prepared loaf pan, and bake!

How to grate the zucchini for baking?

Now one word about the zucchini. If like me you feel a bit lazy with the idea of grating them for the recipe (it takes a little effort, right?), well don’t feel that way. I was surprised myself by how easy and quick it is to grate the zucchini, using a simple box grater. Alternatively, you can use the shredder attachment of your KitchenAid (I use this option a lot!).

Good to know:

• 1 cup shredded zucchini is about 1 to 1 ½ medium zucchini.
• Zucchini are much softer than carrots to grate.
• You don’t need to peel the zucchini for this recipe.
• You don’t need to squeeze out the liquid before using; it will actually bring more moisture to the bread.

How to store zucchini bread?

In my house, chocolate chip zucchini bread usually disappears within hours. But if you are a bit more reasonable than me, you can wrap it in plastic film and keep it on the counter for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze the zucchini bread, either whole, wrapped in a ziploc bag (alternatively you can wrap it in plastic film and then foil). My preferred way consists in freezing slices of zucchini bread individually. To thaw, simply place the bread or slices at room temperature, or warm up each slice for a few seconds in the microwave. Enjoy!
