Description

Filled with chocolate chips, flecked with zucchini, and spiced with cinnamon, this chocolate chip zucchini bread is simple and delicious!

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  2. For the bread, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine zucchini, sugar, coconut oil, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture and fold in until almost combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top with an offset spatula. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over batter; top with chocolate chips.
  4. Bake for 55 minutes, until bread is golden and springs back to the touch. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; carefully remove bread from pan and cool completely.

  5. I just realized I haven’t made zucchini bread yet this summer. This is a must bake recipe, every slice screams summer and the addition of chocolate is divine.

  7. Zucchini and chocolate is a great combination and your loaf looks perfect! I don’t grow zucchini, but I (thankfully) know lots of people that do, so I’ll be grabbing some for sure 🙂

  9. We’ve gotten donations of tomatoes, potatoes and cucumbers but no zucchini this summer!! I’m going to have to go to the farmers’ market tomorrow as I need to make at least one batch of zucchini bread this summer—and adding chocolate chips makes it even better!!!
