Description

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is a moist, flavorful loaf combining fresh zucchini, creamy peanut butter, and sweet chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, this bread is both wholesome and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, covering with foil halfway to prevent over-browning. Test doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Cool in pan for 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread.
  • Drain zucchini well to prevent excess moisture.
  • Check oven temperature and baking time to avoid dryness or underbaking.
  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
  • Optional: Add nuts, dried fruits, or spices like nutmeg for variety.
  • Substitute whole wheat or gluten-free flour for dietary needs.
  • Use vegan substitutes like flax eggs and plant-based milk if desired.
