Zucchini takes a turn on the sweet side with this extra-moist recipe for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread.
I am a big supporter of the culinary craze that is zucchini noodles. But there are times when summer’s most abundant bounty calls for something far more carbolicious. And cue the Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread!
Step away from the spiralizer while you imagine this: Freshly grated zucchini folded into a flavor-packed quickbread batter studded with chocolate chips.
The result is extra-moist zucchini bread perfect for slicing and serving for breakfast, dessert or any meal in between.
Best of all, this quick and easy recipe makes not one, but two super-moist loves of zucchini bread. So that means there’s one for you and one to give to the kind soul who baked them. What’s that? That person is also you? Oh. How convenient.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper then grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. (The batter will be very thick.) Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool for 20 minutes in the pans then transfer them a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Just delicious! So moist! The prep is easy. My zucchini seemed pretty wet, so I let them drain while I prepared the rest of the batter. Absolutely will make this bread again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Abbey!
I will trying this today sounds delicious. I was wondering if it can be placed in freezer for later. I have a few rather large zucchinis I want to use up. Kids love bread.
Hi Christy! Yes, this bread freezes beautifully!
The Chocolate Chip Zucchini bread was awesome!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Rob!
It is in the oven now and based on the taste of the batter! It is going to be fantastic. I did add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder as one is for a friend who is a chocolate fiend. :) I can’t wait !!
YUM! I hope you and your friend enjoy the zucchini bread, Glenda!
I love this recipe! My grandsons ask me to make these for them constantly. Today I’m making muffins with this and I added Hershey kisses to the batter
So glad you all are enjoying it, Tina!
