Zucchini Bread — Super moist, tender, loaded with chocolate chips, and so EASY to make!! One bowl, no mixer, and THE BEST zucchini bread you’ll ever try!!
I have a family who doesn’t like zucchini, but they sure loved this zucchini bread.If you know any zucchini haters, trust me — they won’t even be able to taste it. There’s so much chocolate in every bite, which is what dominates the flavor profile.
It’s so incredibly moist, tender, and just melts in your mouth. Between the oil, sour cream, and natural moisture from the zucchini, it’s impossible to have a dry loaf of this quick bread recipe.
Easy Zucchini Bread Recipe
I created this easy zucchini bread recipe by combining pieces and parts of my Zucchini Banana Bread and my Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cake recipes.
I actually think this bread is so scrumptious, it could be considered cake, but baked in loaf form. So if it’s bread, it’s automatically a bit healthier than cake,
This is such a simple recipe and other than the zucchini, you will likely have everything in your pantry and fridge to make this recipe right now! I made this zucchini bread with sour cream, but note that full-fat plain Greek yogurt may be substituted.

Full instructions for this recipe can be found in this recipe card at the end of the post.Here’s a quick overview of the baking process:
Classic zucchini bread is ultra moist thanks to the grated zucchini, and the overall flavor profile is sweet and slightly cinnamon-y. I love adding chocolate chips for that chocolate factor, but you may omit them.
Absolutely! Let the bread cool completely and then seal inside a freezer bag. Alternately, you can wrap the entire loaf in a few layers of plastic wrap and a final layer of heavy duty aluminum foil.
Must Try, Super Moist Zucchini Bread
I use a box grater to grate the zucchini by hand in literally 60 seconds. Use the coarsest blade, and grate away. One big fat zucchini or about one-and-a-half or two thinner, smaller zucchinis will be sufficient.
You could use a food processor but honestly that is just lots of pieces, parts, and extra dishes later on, for a job that is 60 seconds.
Place the grated zucchini in doubled up paper towels and wring it out. You don’t have to wring like you are trying to wring out a wet swimsuit, but you want to blot up some of the moisture, if I were guessing, I’d say wring out 50% of the moisture.

Then place it in a 1-cup measuring cup fairly firmly. Don’t hard-pack it into the cup, but use more pressure than if you were just laying it in the cup.
Nope! No need to peel the zucchini before grating it. The skin is very tender and you can’t tell the difference between it and the flesh of the zucchini once it’s baked.
Muffins will probably take about 20 to 25 minutes baked at 350F. Keep an eye on them; they’re done when they’re cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean from batter, although it’ll have chocolate on it.

The batter would be fine for an 8×8-inch cake or a small Bundt cake. It will depend on what you choose to bake it in, but I estimate it taking about 35 minutes for either.
If you want to skip the chocolate chips, and/or incorporate walnuts or another favorite nut, that is just fine.Don’t exceed 1 cup combined of chocolate chips and/or nuts.
I haven’t make this recipe gluten-free, but if you want to attempt it I’d use a gluten-free flour specifically intended for baking.
Sour Cream Zucchini Bread Recipe
Anytime one is baking with zucchini, bananas, berries, or any fruit or vegetable, the natural juices from the vegetable or fruit seep out during the baking process.
It is very important to bake your bread through, and approximately 50 minutes should do the trick, but that is not written in stone so you need to watch your bread and not the clock when evaluating doneness. Do not be afraid to bake your bread for 70 minutes if that’s what it needs in order to get it cooked through.
Because of the moisture content of your particular zucchini, exactly how much water you blotted out, your oven, you climate, the brand of flour used, and so forth, will all effect baking times. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out free from any wet batter.
The Best Sour Cream Zucchini Bread Done Right
I recommend draping a sheet of foil, i.e. tenting your pan, at the 25 to 30-minute mark to avoid excessive browning on the top and sides of your loaf.
1. Grating, Wringing Out, and Measuring The Zucchini - Place the grated zucchini in doubled up paper towels and wring it out. You don’t have to wring like you are trying to wring out a wet swimsuit, but you want to blot up some of the moisture, if I were guessing, I’d say wring out 50% of the moisture.
Then place it in a 1-cup measuring cup fairly firmly. Don’t hard-pack it into the cup, but use more pressure than if you were just laying it in the cup.

The Best Lemon Zucchini Bread
And, as promised, today I’ve got my favorite zucchini bread recipe for you…this zucchini bread with sour cream that I’ve been making for years!
I love this recipe for a few reasons, the first being that it’s easy to make. Just mix the batter together by hand, pour it into the pans and bake. The house will smell sooo good while it’s baking!
The sour cream adds some richness and makes the bread even more moist while not thinning out the batter. It also helps give the bread a more tender and a somewhat finer crumb.
