A moist and flavorful zucchini bread featuring nutty brown butter and melty chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and browned butter until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Brown butter carefully to avoid burning for best flavor. Avoid overmixing batter to keep bread tender. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. Tent bread with foil if browning too fast.
