Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 345kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (220 g) finely grated zucchini, do not squeeze liquid out
- ½ cup (106 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (127 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add zucchini (including liquid), brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, add dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to remove clumps. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Add chocolate chips and stir to combine (optionally, reserve a few to sprinkle on top).
- Pour into prepared loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. Bake for about 48 to 55 minutes, OR until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with dry crumbs, or bread reaches 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center (baking times will vary based on your oven and type of pan used).
- Allow bread to cool completely on the counter before removing from pan and slicing.
Recommended Equipment
Notes
- Leftover zucchini bread will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If your bread is very moist/wet, I recommend refrigerating.
- Zucchini bread can be frozen for up to 6 months. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap/foil and store in a freezer safe bag or container. Thaw on the counter top for 1 to 3 hours.
- Chocolate chips can be omitted or substituted with chopped walnuts or pecans.
