Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab two 8x4-inch loaf pans and give them a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re light and frothy, like a fluffy cloud.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in the grated zucchini, sugar, vegetable oil, and a splash of vanilla extract, stirring everything together until it’s beautifully blended.

5. Step 5

   In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.

6. Step 6

   Gently fold this dry mixture into the zucchini blend, mixing just until you see no more flour streaks—overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, and we want it light and airy! Now, it’s time to add some crunch and sweetness: fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly sprinkled throughout the batter.

7. Step 7

   Carefully pour the batter into your prepared loaf pans, dividing it evenly so both loaves rise to perfection.

8. Step 8

   Pop them into your preheated oven and let them bake for about an hour.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing that moist, chocolatey goodness.

10. Step 10

    Once baked, let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen.

11. Step 11

    After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the anticipation as you wait to slice into your homemade zucchini chocolate bread!.
