This Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is sinfully good. It is super moist and tender and loaded with flavor. Don’t even tell them it has vegetables in it, they will never know.
Love being able to sneak some vegetables into a tasty snack and zucchini is the perfect vegetable for this. The zucchini in this bread adds a ton of moisture and the perfect amount of texture but will not change the taste. So they wont even know they are eating there vegetables. In fact the addition of the bittersweet chocolate chips will have them coming back for more.
Why you have to make this bread:
- Ease: This bread is really easy to make. With simple ingredients that you probably already have you can have this bread ready in no time.
- Texture: Because zucchini contains so much water, it will add a ton of moisture and great texture to your recipes.
- Taste: This bread is loaded with flavor. The cinnamon adds a bit of spicy flavor while the bittersweet chocolate chips add a richness.
Ingredients used to make this bread:
- Zucchini: Shred on the small setting of a box grater. No need to peel the zucchini, grate them skin and all.
- Avocado Oil: I use avocado oil for its health benefits but vegetable oil will work as well.
- Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar: Both are for added sweetness. I like to use dark brown sugar for the added molasses flavor, but light brown sugar will work as well
- Eggs: These are your binder.
- Flour: All purpose flour works perfectly for this recipe.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda: These are leavening agents which help to give this bread rise.
- Cinnamon: Adds a bit of spicy flavor.
- Vanilla Extract: I prefer pure vanilla extract rather than imatation vanilla extract due to its intense flavor.
- Salt: A pinch of salt will enhance the flavor.
- Chocolate Chips: Bittersweet chocolate chips are perfect for this but semi sweet chocolate chips will work as well.
Tips for making this Bread:
- Shred the zucchini with a box grater. No need to peel first, use the skin and all.
- For this recipe I used a 9” x 5” loaf pan that was coated with baking spray for easy removal.
- I like to add a couple of extra chocolate chips on top of the cake before I bake it. It gives it great presentation.
- To store, once cooled place in an air tight container for up to a week, but I guarantee it wont last that long.
