A quick and easy one-bowl recipe for extra-moist zucchini bread studded with dark chocolate chips, perfect for a comforting treat or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed (110g) brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and gently squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry ingredients and stir briefly to combine.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry mix and pour in vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and dark chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula without pressing down too hard.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes. Start checking at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even color.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then lift it out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the crumb tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Chilling batter for 15 minutes before baking can improve texture. Let bread cool completely before slicing.
