Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat white flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (2% fat for moistness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (keep skin on, squeeze out excess liquid if needed)
- 1 cup chocolate chips—reserve some to sprinkle on top
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a bread pan to ensure the loaf doesn’t stick.
For added insurance, line the bottom with parchment paper, making it easier to lift the bread out once baked.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Mix these well to ensure even distribution of the baking soda and spices, which will enhance the flavor of your loaf.
Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy.
Add in the oil, maple syrup, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring as you go.
Mix just until everything is combined, being careful not to overmix, which can result in a tougher bread texture.
Step 5: Add Zucchini and Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips into the batter.
Stir just until combined, ensuring the zucchini and chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6: Transfer to Pan and Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared bread pan, spreading it out evenly.
If you desire, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for an extra chocolatey crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Then, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious zucchini chocolate chip bread!
