Zucchini Pumpkin Bread with a Chocolate Twist: A Slice of Autumn Delight
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 4 Servings 1x
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
1 ½ tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1.5 cups white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165°C). Grease two 8×4 inch bread pans with cooking spray.
Wash, dry, and peel the zucchini. Grate the zucchini until you have 2 cups.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a second bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly between the two greased bread pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, indicating that it’s fully cooked.
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the bread to cool before carefully removing them from the pans.
Notes
To ensure a moist and tender crumb, avoid overmixing the batter; simply mix until the ingredients are combined.
If you have an abundance of zucchini, you can double the recipe and freeze one loaf for later enjoyment.
Store any leftover Zucchini Pumpkin Bread in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
