Zucchini – The zucchini adds moisture to the bread, but doesn’t really add flavor. It’s my favorite way to eat this veggie. 😉
Chocolate Chips – This chocolate chip zucchini bread is loaded up with lots of milk chocolate chips for loads of sweet flavor! Semi-sweet or dark chips would work too.
What We Love About This Recipe:
This chocolate zucchini bread is perfect with your morning coffee, or enjoy it as a snack!
If you’ve got extra zucchini, this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.
The bread is nice and moist thanks to the zucchini and applesauce, but it doesn’t taste like it has veggies in it. Very kid-friendly!
Helpful Tools:
Box Grater – You’ll need a grater for the zucchini. I’d recommend investing in a nice one, they are useful in all sorts of recipes!
Loaf Pan – I love this bread loaf pan! It’s gorgeous, retains heat beautifully heat, and has lasted for years. I always get questions when I share recipes with this loaf pan in the photos, so I wanted to share the link. 🙂 Any old 9×5 loaf pan will do though.
How to Make Zucchini Bread:
Mix: Beat together the wet ingredients until nice and creamy. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix or your bread will end up tough instead of tender.
Zucchini: Add the grated zucchini and chocolate chips to the mixing bowl and stir it altogether with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Bake: Spread the batter into a loaf pan and pop it in a hot oven. This chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe bakes in about an hour.
Cool: Let it cool for 15 minutes in the pan before removing it to a wire rack to finish cooling. Once cooled, slice with a serrated knife into thick pieces.
