A moist and tender zucchini bread speckled with chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts, perfect for a comforting snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups (180 g) grated zucchini, excess water squeezed out
  • ¾ cup (130 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (60 g) chopped toasted walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can (about 1 to 2 tablespoons).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir the squeezed zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted walnuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment overhang and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Toast walnuts before adding for enhanced flavor. Avoid overmixing batter to keep bread tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing.
