Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

September 5, 2015 by Heather Carter 16 Comments

If you’re looking for a really delicious, extra moist, perfectly sweetened Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread then look no further. Because this recipe hits all those highlights and has rich little morsels of semi-sweet chocolate throughout too! I’ve been wanting to add a delicious zucchini bread recipe to My Sweet Mission and this one is definitely “Blog Worthy”, as I like to say.

Bursting with moistness, this Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread has 2 cups of zucchini, which adds a lot of nutrition. And, the crust bakes up golden brown and chewy!

In a microwave safe bowl soften the butter, stir in the sugar and combine well. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring to combine well again.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.

Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips until all the ingredients are just blended. Reserve a few chocolate chips for the top.

Zucchini is packed with nutrition and ups the healthy benefits of this recipe. It also makes the bread extra rich and moist. So, it’s a yummy way to eat your veggies!

Chocolate-Chip-Zucchini-Bread

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and place a few chocolate chips on top. Now, you know how I feel about chocolate chips. 😉

Bake at 325 degrees for 60-75 minutes.

The bread is perfectly baked when it’s golden brown and the top is firm but just a bit soft in the middle. Remove from oven when a toothpick inserted comes out a little sticky, but not wet. The bread will continue to cook a little in the pan after it’s removed from the oven.

Allow the bread to set in the bread pan at least 30 minutes, so the bottom doesn’t stick when removing.

Wow, just look at those little flecks of green zucchini all throughout the bread, that’s what makes this bread so incredibly good! And, the chocolate chips makes it even tastier!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, slightly melted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups zucchini, shredded or puréed (I used puréed)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserve a few for the top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.

  • In a microwave-safe bowl soften the butter, stir in the sugar and combine well. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring to combine well again.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips until all the ingredients are just blended. Reserve a few chocolate chips for the top. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and place a few chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 60-75 minutes. See notes for baking tips.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the bread pan at least 30 minutes before removing.

Notes

To shred zucchini; use a box grater. To purée zucchini; use a food processor and pulse until somewhat smooth, but not too fine.
 
You can also use frozen zucchini, just make sure it's thoroughly defrosted before adding it to the recipe.
 
The bread is perfectly baked when it's golden brown and the top is firm but just a bit soft in the middle. Remove from oven when a toothpick inserted comes out a little sticky, but not wet. The bread will continue to cook a little in the pan after it's removed from the oven.
 
FYI: I cooled this bread in the pan for a couple of hours and it didn't stick to the pan (at all) and came out perfectly.

    I’m ready for fall baking but, we’d had so many heat waves. But, today was the first day it’s cooled down enough to catch up on things. Can’t wait to try this. Even Sammie is ready to bake. 😉 Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight party pinned & shared.

    I am making class treats for my disabled 8 yr olds special ed class. Many of the kids are severely disabled as is my grandson. Would the choc chip zuchinni bread be good in muffin form which will be better for some of the kids to handle? How long to bake with would you think if it would be doable? ( ps. Your ” about me” info sounds like you have a giving spirit. Thank you.)

Yes, we have a recipe for chocolate chip zucchini muffins, here it is: https://mysweetmission.com/2017/01/moist-chocolate-chip-zucchini-muffins.html Please let us know how they turned out.

        I will do that Heather, as I know Ollie eats any and all veggies ( cooked as he cant chew like most of us can). Ive been doing alot of ” zoodles ” for him with other veggies and he just gobbles them up with his one working hand. He doesnt eat any kind of sweets or crackers / chips , nor can he see , so hoping this recipe will be a good muffin experience for he, and his little class as textures are hard for them.

          That’s awesome Karen that Ollie eats any and all veggies, and you’ve been doing a lot of “zoodles” for him! Yes, I hope our muffins are a good experience for him and his class as well. 😉 ~Heather
