These Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Minis are the ultimate sneaky veggie treat! Super moist, packed with sweet chocolate chips, and perfectly portioned for breakfast, snacks, or lunchboxes. An easy way to use up garden zucchini!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), excess moisture squeezed out

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or mini chocolate chips)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini loaf pan or prepare a muffin tin with liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pan cavities or muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the minis cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious, secretly healthy Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Minis!

Notes

    • The Zucchini Squeeze: For the moistest bread that isn’t watery, always squeeze out excess moisture from your freshly grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial for perfect texture!
    • Chocolate Chip Choices: While semi-sweet chips are classic, feel free to use mini chocolate chips for an even distribution in each bite, or experiment with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor profile. White chocolate chips are also a fun variation!
    • Make-Ahead Magic: These delightful minis freeze beautifully! Once completely cooled, wrap each mini individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw on the counter for a few hours or warm briefly in the microwave for a quick treat.
