Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

David Venable

Walnuts, cranberries, blueberries…you can put just about anything into zucchini bread...I love chocolate chips!

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1-1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-1/4 cups zucchini, grated
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the rack in the middle of the oven. Lightly grease an 8" x 4" nonstick loaf pan. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium-size bowl . Set aside.
Fit a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, and then mix (on medium speed) the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well-combined. Add the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix, on low speed, until well-combined.
Fold the grated zucchini and chocolate chips into the mixture using a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan over a cooling rack for about 20 minutes, then remove the loaf and place it directly onto the rack to finish cooling.

Cook's Notes

To make healthier fruit (and veggie!) breads, substitute the oil with applesauce or another fruit puree. You can even substitute oil with light yogurt in some recipes.
