Description
If you need to use up some extra zucchinis, or want a clever (and tasty!) way to get your kids to eat some veggies, make this chocolate chip zucchini bread!
Ingredients
Scale
- Bread- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 1 cup of shredded zucchini
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon
- ½ cup of chopped walnuts
- ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Glaze- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–4 Tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugars, until smooth. Add in zucchini, vanilla, and oil. Whisk gently until combined.
- In a smaller bowl, add in flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Gently mix together, and set aside two tablespoons of flour mixture.
- In a small bowl, add in walnuts and chocolate chips. Coat them with the two tablespoons of flour mixture (this is to keep them from sinking in the batter).
- Add flour mixture to the zucchini mixture, and whisk together gently (do not overmix).
- Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips.
- Pour mixture into a parchment lined and greased bread pan (this will make it easier to remove the finished bread). Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving. While the bread cools, mix up your glaze. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk, and add more if you want a thinner consistency. I drizzled it on the individual slices so I could get the most glaze flavor, but you could also just drizzle it on top of the whole loaf. Then enjoy your chocolate chip zucchini bread!
