Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 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 shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter melts, foams, and begins to brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the zucchini: Shred 1 1/2 cups zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cream sugars and eggs: In a separate bowl, beat 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet ingredients: Slowly pour the warm brown butter into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring continuously.
  6. Fold in zucchini: Add shredded zucchini to the wet mixture and stir gently until combined.
  7. Combine wet and dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  8. Add chocolate chips: Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  9. Prepare loaf pan: Grease or line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Cool: Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning; a light tan color and nutty aroma indicate readiness. Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to prevent soggy bread. Fold batter gently to avoid toughness. Tent with foil if bread browns too quickly.
