Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Recipe
I have been making chocolate chip zucchini bread for as long as I can remember. And this has been my families favorite. This is an adaptation from a recipe I originally got from Paula Deen at the Food Network, in 2008. So yes, I have put my own spin on this yummy recipe. The original recipe, which you find in the link below, was very sweet. Almost too sweet for our family. So I reduced the sugar amount and increased the spices! And we love it! Chocolate chip zucchini bread never looked or tasted so good! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! With summer around the corner, fresh zucchini will be everywhere, so get your recipes organized now!
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups All purpose floour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract *I only use only pure extracts for all my recipes
- 2 cups Shredded zucchini *2 small zucchini
- 1/2 cup Pecan chips
- 1 11.5 oz bag Milk Chocolate Chips *1.5 cups of semi sweet mini chips can be substituted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease AND flour 2 loaf pans, set aside.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, spices and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Then add sugar and beat on low until "THICKENED", otherwise your chips will sink to the bottom of the loaf pan!
- Beat in oil, vanilla, zucchini, pecans and chocolate chips! Mix until blended. Mix in sifted (dry) ingredients.
- Divide batter evenly between the loaf pans. And bake for 45-50 minutes. Let cool before slicing. Then enjoy!
Furthermore, you can warm up a piece of bread in the microwave for 5-10 second, depending on thickness, and it tastes like it was just out of the oven! If you’re looking for more healthy dishes, check out this recipe for buffalo chicken spaghetti squash!!

This looks like a great recipe to adapt for low-carb! I love zucchini and we’ve figured out a pretty good low-carb banana bread recipe! They even make low-carb chocolate chips 🙂
