Bake this easy homemade quick bread for a tender, moist loaf packed with chocolate chips. This recipe uses fresh grated zucchini and simple steps, making it perfect for beginner bakers needing a reliable summer baking idea or a simple breakfast quick bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups finely grated fresh zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour one 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the sour cream until mostly incorporated.
  6. Fold in the dried grated zucchini and the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the chocolate chip zucchini bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is key to a tender loaf, not a soggy one.
  • For an extra chocolate swirl, reserve 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and sprinkle them over the top of the batter before baking.
  • This quick bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
