Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-bowl zucchini bread recipe studded with melty chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or snacks. Moist, light crumb with a subtle veggie boost and warm cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, unpeeled; squeeze out excess moisture if very watery)
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (can substitute with melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (can use dairy-free chips if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the coarse side of your box grater or pulse in a food processor until finely shredded. If very watery, squeeze out some moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk lightly to mix evenly.
  4. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry ingredients and stir together.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips carefully to distribute evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. If the top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil after 40 minutes.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread light and tender. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy bread. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing for best texture. Variations include adding nuts, using gluten-free flour, or substituting chocolate chips with berries.
