Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups grated fresh zucchini (about 3–4 medium zucchini)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
  2. Place grated zucchini in a colander in the sink (do not squeeze moisture out).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and melted butter.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Whisk until just combined.
  5. Stir in the grated zucchini until incorporated.
  6. Add the chocolate chips and stir until combined.
  7. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 40-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.

Notes

You can substitute half or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for extra fiber. Swap mini chocolate chips for regular if desired or use chopped nuts. The bread can be made ahead and stored well-wrapped at room temperature for 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. If bread sinks or is gummy, check your oven temperature and avoid over-mixing. Excess liquid from zucchini is not squeezed out to keep moisture. If using frozen zucchini, thaw and drain well before adding.
