Description

Mama always said to eat your vegetables! If you have zucchini growing in your backyard, this is a great opportunity to use them. It’s the perfect sweet bread for a summer dessert, garden party (does anyone have those?), or weekend breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2  Eggs
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Finely Grated Zucchini (about One Medium-sized Zucchini)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 10″ loaf pan.

In a large bowl (or electric mixer bowl), whisk together first five ingredients (egg/oil/sugar/zucchini/vanilla) until smooth. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the next five ingredients (flour/baking soda/baking powder/salt/cinnamon).

Add 1/2 of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Repeat with the rest of the dry mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula and transfer batter to the loaf pan, spreading it evenly within the pan.

Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (except for the melted chocolate) from center. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.

Makes one 10″ loaf.

This was a great idea – adding the chocolate chips. It totally wipes all of the horrid memories from childhood of plain zucchini bread. Thanks for sharing.

This is very good…I made it in my bread maker just adjusting the cook time. I would probably only add 1/2 cup chocolate chips next time, I just like a touch of chocolate. Will make again. :)

I have made a lot of zucchini bread and this is by far the easiest and best tasting recipe I have ever tried.

This was a very yummy loaf, so much so I am going to make it again this weekend. I added a bit extra cinnamon and vanilla because you can’t go wrong with those flavours.
Though mine did take almost an hour to be ready but it was well worth the wait.
