Print Recipe

A simple, one-bowl zucchini bread recipe featuring cinnamon, toasted walnuts, and melty chocolate chips for a moist, tender homemade snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed dry
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts, toasted
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Shred zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Wrap shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. Stir in granulated sugar (or half granulated and half brown sugar for extra moisture).
  5. Add vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the squeezed zucchini, toasted walnuts, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy bread. Avoid overmixing batter to keep bread tender. Toast walnuts for extra flavor and crunch. Tent with foil if bread browns too fast. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and rise.
