CHOCOLATE CHIP ZUCCHINI BREAD

Moist zucchini bread gets a simple makeover with chocolate chips.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
One 8-ounce zucchini (about 1 large), grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Canola nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan

Steps:

  • Adjust rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the butter, oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Fold in the zucchini.
  • Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir the zucchini mixture in to the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Coat an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray then spoon the batter into the pan, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake, rotating about halfway through, until puffed and golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Choose zucchini that are small and firm. This will ensure that the bread is not too watery.
  • Grate the zucchini rather than chopping it. This will help to distribute the moisture evenly throughout the bread.
  • Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the bread from being too wet.
  • Use a combination of light and dark chocolate chips. This will give the bread a rich and complex flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Dark Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and zucchini makes this bread moist and flavorful, and the addition of dark chocolate chips adds a touch of richness. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
