Super Easy Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips
Growing up, my mother went through this zucchini phase one summer. I’ll never forget it. It was this Cheesy Zucchini Casserole with ground beef, zucchini boats filled with all kinds of concoctions, kabobs with zucchini…the list goes on.
But my mother was never a baker, so we never had zucchini bread.
Last year was my first attempt at zucchini bread. I made this Chocolate Zucchini Bread and even Mr. Picky was all about it. You know, I never mentioned the word zucchini when I served it up because if I did I knew he’d never give it a try.
I grabbed a few zucchini at a local stand a few weeks back and I think I’ve made and shared this loaf at least a half a dozen times already.

A Few Cook’s Notes for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
I used a 9×5-inch loaf pan for this recipe.
You can use whatever chocolate chips you have on hand. Either semi-sweet or milk chocolate work or even a combination of both. I used 3/4 cup in the loaf and the remaining 1/4 cup on top.

Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini, shredded
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Add the shredded zucchini with a spatula until combined. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and then sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out mostly clean. If your loaf seems to be browning too quickly, just tent with foil. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
Just lovely and such a delicious way to use up all the zucchini :) Perfect for baking up bunches and sharing with friends.
I made several loaves the last few days and shared with friends who really enjoyed them! I love baking for people Jennifer!
I was just thinking this morning how I’ve a few very large zucchini in the fridge that must be attended to within the next few days. The perfect solution is bread! This looks so delicious Mare! And I love that hint of cinnamon :D
My neighbors love this loaf. I’ve shared several this summer, all to rave reviews!
Excellent! Would use this recipe again. Thanks for the tip about the foil. My oven always cooks hot.
So happy you enjoyed it Dianne!

Thanks for trying the recipe Karl! And for following!
Just made it. Super simple to make and so very tasty!!
Awesome! So happy you gave the recipe a try and enjoyed it!
would it be ok to put this into 2 mini loaf pans? We lost our loaf pan in a 6 ft flood we had. Dont know why it was in our basement though! REALLY want to try this recipe!!!!
Just make sure you don’t overfill the loaf pans. They should be about 2/3 full. The loaves would bake for less time also. Probably around 25 minutes. Check with tester inserted in center of loaves. Enjoy!
