Print Recipe

A moist, tender, and subtly sweet zucchini bread with melty chocolate chips, made in one bowl for quick and easy preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed gently to remove excess moisture
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Wash and trim 2 medium zucchinis. Grate using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out excess moisture, leaving it moist but not dry. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with oil or cooking spray and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly combined. (About 2 minutes)
  4. Stir in 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/3 cup vegetable oil until combined. The batter will look crumbly.
  5. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and uniform, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips using a spatula until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Grate zucchini finely to avoid chunky texture and excess moisture. Do not overmix batter to keep bread tender. Use room temperature eggs for better blending. Start checking doneness at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Toss chocolate chips in a teaspoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
