There is something so special about baking with garden fresh zucchini. This bread stays incredibly moist and the little pockets of melted chocolate make every slice feel like a decadent dessert.

My top tip is to make sure you squeeze as much liquid out of the shredded zucchini as you can. This keeps the bread from getting soggy and ensures that perfect texture every single time.

🧺 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3
In a separate large bowl, stir together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
4
Gently fold the grated and dried zucchini into the wet ingredients.
5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. It also freezes beautifully if you wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.
