This incredibly moist and tender chocolate chip zucchini bread is the perfect way to use up summer squash. It’s easy to make, packed with chocolate chips, and a crowd-pleaser that even zucchini skeptics will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (canola or avocado)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium, do not peel or squeeze)
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  4. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract; whisk until fully combined.
  5. Fold in grated zucchini with a rubber spatula. Do not squeeze out the liquid.
  6. Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture; fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Reserve 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips for topping; fold the rest into the batter.
  8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  10. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using parchment and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing (about 1 hour).

Notes

Do not squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini; it is key to the bread’s moistness. For best results, use room temperature eggs and measure flour by spooning and leveling. The bread tastes even better on day two. Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
