Description
A moist and delicious quick bread made with shredded zucchini and chocolate chips, perfect for a sweet treat or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
½ cup (119ml) vegetable oil
¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups (approximately 152g) shredded zucchini
1 cup (170g) chocolate chips (plus more for the top)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Step 3: Mix in the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 4: Stir in the flour until just combined; the mixture will be thick.
- Step 5: Add the shredded zucchini and stir until combined. The batter will become looser and more pourable.
- Step 6: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
- Step 8: Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Note that a 9×5-inch pan may bake faster (50-60 minutes) than an 8×4-inch pan (55-65 minutes).
- Step 9: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store the bread covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For longer storage, freeze the bread for up to 3 months.
