Low Fat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread




A super moist zucchini bread loaded with chocolate chips in every bite. I used a whole wheat blend and lots of apple sauce and the results were moist and delicious.

It took a few tries to get this one perfect, but it was so worth it in the end. Everyone loved this from my one year old to my husband who couldn't get enough of it. Give this a try, I'm sure you'll agree, a perfect way to get your kids to eat zucchini!

  1. We have so many zucchinis right now and I have been looking for a good way to use them up before they spoil. This looks like the ticket! I think I'll make an extra batch into muffins for my daughter to have for snack at summer school. Thanks!

  5. These look delicious. I can't say I would trust myself with a pan of these, so maybe cupcakes would be safer for me.

  6. Looks amazing. Did you use sweetened or unsweetened applesauce in this recipe?

    ReplyDelete
  7. This zuccini bread looks delicious and moist!

  9. Perfect timing! I just shredded about 40 cups worth of zucchini and summer squash to put in the freezer. We're picking about 10 more each day!

  10. I sooo could have used this recipe last year! I had so many zucchini's I didn't know what to do with them.

    But this looks delicious and I will try this one out! Thanks :)

  11. Thank you! Thank you! I was just searching for a low fat recipe for zucchini bread. I was going to use the one from Eat Better America (which still looks good), but this is more fitting for us. :) Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  12. This looks great! Is it possible to use whole wheat pastry flour then whole wheat flour?

    ReplyDelete
  13. THis looks similar to the chocolate recipe I tried from your website. It turned out delicious. I just picked two zucchinis and came to see what I could find here! I will try this tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Just pulled the bread out of the oven and had to taste before it cooled off! I think I'll add walnuts next time. This is very good, thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Looks great!I can't wait to give it a try!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Unsweetened applesauce, thanks for noticing that.

    I'm not sure how these would turn out with all whole wheat. My guess is good but I haven't tried it.

    These word make great muffins too.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Chocolate and zucchini?? Wow this is interesting! Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I've never made zucchini bread, but this looks to be the one I should try!

    ReplyDelete
  20. This sounds great. I will add some cinnamon when I make it, as my favorite recipe uses it. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi Gina,
    Could you tell me how I could make apple sauce on my own? I have a lot of apples and would prefer to use those than go out and buy applesauce. Could I just peel, slice, and cook them in water?
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Gina...would pureed banana or any other fruit be ok to substitute for the apple sauce? I always wondered if there was a particular reason for choosing apple sauce as a sub for fat in a lot of recipes.

  23. I love your website but everytime I try to print off a recipe I get everything, all the pictures, all the comments, etc, when I just want the recipe. Is this an operator error or how do I go about just getting the recipe. By the way, I'm getting ready to get the ingredients to try this bread. Looks yummy and I think the grandkids will eat it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Shira, I make my own applesauce quite a bit...in the crockpot! Peel, dice, and throw in the crockpot. Add a little water or apple juice. Cook until soft and mash with a potato masher or I suppose you could put it in the blender. We like ours a little chunky so the masher works great. I have also added cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

    ReplyDelete
  25. So unusual that I have all the ingredients already in the house when one of your recipes posts. But I did and I just baked this up. It is really delish. Moist and just sweet enough.So glad to get those chocolate chips used up before I ate them all straight from the bag.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I might be alone here--- but can I leave OUT the chocolate chips? Would it still be ok/

    I love Zucchini Bread on it's own!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Do you have to drain the zucchini after shredding it?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yes, to make apples sauce just cook it and puree. The crock pot is a great idea too.

    The reason I used applesauce as opposed to banana is because I wanted moisture without effecting the taste. You don't taste the apples, if I used banana it would change the flavor of the bread.

    Jenn, you can leave out the chocolate chips, but you may need to add more sugar if you do.

    I didn't drain the zucchini, I wanted to keep all the moisture.

    Julie, I am so glad you liked it!!

  29. Did you use regular sugar and brown sugar? Do you think it would work with Splenda?

    ReplyDelete
  30. in the oven, thanks for posting Gina

    ReplyDelete
  31. This looks so healthy and tasty. Great recipe, and thanks for perfecting it for us!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I used brow sugar, Splenda brown sugar blend should work.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Excellent! This is my first year growing zucchini in the garden and there are so many babies that I knew I'd need a recipe like this. Perfect timing!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Do you have any recipes using almond flour?

    ReplyDelete
  35. If I half this recipe and make muffins will it turn out as well or should I make some modifications? looks yummy!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I made this today, and it was TO moist, the bottom refused to bake, and I had it in the oven OVER an hour :(
    I think next time I will omitt the applesauce and add a banana or two to punch up the flavor a bit.
    LOVED all the choclate in it.... :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. i am so excited to see this recipe because i have ALL of the ingredients in my house right now! isn't it great when that happens?

    ReplyDelete
  38. I had all of the ingredients and was excited to make this tonight. Another home run Gina! Thanks for all of the great recipes!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Is the zucchini raw when you grate it?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Lindsey, this would work for muffins, you may just need to cook it less time.

    Laura, that's weird! The zucchini should be loosely 1 cup, not packed down. I wonder if that had something to do with it being too moist?

    Heather, glad you liked it!

    Yes, the zucchini is raw.

    ReplyDelete
  41. That looks great! I wonder if I can make the eggless? may be replace the eggs with flax seed meal?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hmmmmm, Ya know, I think I may have packed it down, OHHHHHH DARN, I had WAY to much in there.....OK that is a BAKING REDO TODAY!!!!!!!!!! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  43. I want to try this today but I don't have any zucchini, but wondered if I could used carrots?? Sort of like a carrot cake bread?? What do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Chinmayie- I haven't tried it but it should work ok.

    LauraD, or if you pack the zucchini, use less applesauce.

    There is so much moisture with the applesauce that it would probably work without the zucchini if you don't have any.

    ReplyDelete
  45. we made a bread very similar to this recipe, except we use olive oil in place of the butter. now I can't wait for our zucchini to be ready!

    ReplyDelete
  46. You, my dear, are a genius. I have yet to make something from your site that isn't absolutely delicious. Onto the zucchini pancakes to use up the extra zucchini! LOVE IT!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Did you know you can substitute cucumber for the zucchini? I have done this many times in zucchini bread recipes and I have had a ton of compliments on the cucumber bread. It may sound weird using cucumbers but like zucchini they are very bland tasting so they take on the flavors of the other ingredients. The only difference is that you don't include the peel so there is no green in your bread. Just peel the cucumbers and shred!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I made this bread last night and it was AMAZING! My boyfriend hates Zucchini, so was very hesitant to try it but he even loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Thanks Gina!!

    My husband pretty much devoured this too so I knew it was a winner since he isn't much of a vegetable fan.

  50. Alison in BostonJul 12, 2011 12:05 PM

    I made this last night using 3 small tins. Like everyone else, I had lots of zucchinis from the garden. It came out wonderful. My friend convinced me to throw in more chocolate chips - and it was too many. Also, I think I will cook it on a higher temperature. It could just be my super ancient stove, but I will try 350 next time.

    To the people who post comments - I get a lot out of reading those as well. Thank you!

    Gina - your recipes are fantastic! I've tried quite a few of them!

    ReplyDelete
  51. This was AWESOME!!! The whole family loved it. It was the first thing I have made from your site. Thanks sooo much.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Would it be okay to use all white flour rather than wheat flour if I don't have any on hand? Or would this mess up the recipe? I absolutely have LOVED trying out your recipes.... everyone has been DELICIOUS!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Comments are very helpful!! I appreciate each and every one of them!!

    White flour would be fine.

    ReplyDelete
  54. do you have any recipies using almond flour or know if i can substitute the wheat flour for almond flour?

    ReplyDelete
  55. I made this tonight and everyone loved it! My husband is very picky and doesn't like zucchini but ate this right up (he even knew what was in it too)! Thank you for yet another great recipe!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Very interesting recpie, I'd love to make such bread :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Would you recommend freezing a loaf? If so, how do you suggest freezing it?

    ReplyDelete
  58. This was the best bread of any kind I've ever made! My kids absolutely loved it! And I was able to use up some of the abundance of zucchini growing in my garden. Loaf #2 is in the oven right now!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Gina,
    I made this last night. It came out AWESOME!!!!This will be the only zucchini bread I make from now on. I did have to bake for closer to an hour. This came out so moist! Thanks for all your recipes1

  61. Hello, could I use something else in place of the butter, my son is lactose intolerant. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  62. This recipe is awesome! My 17 year old daughter said they are amazing. Now that's a great complement coming from a teenager who lives on pizza and mac and cheese! Thank you a million times Gina!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I didnt have whole wheat flour so I just used white flour and my daughter wanted to use PB Chips with the chocolate chips :) it's in the oven now! Can't wait to try it!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I made these as muffins! SO GOOD! I bought too much zucchini so as soon as this batch is gone..I think I'll make another :) I also used mini chocolate chips because it was what I had..worked well :)

    ReplyDelete
  65. LOVE THIS!!! Just came out of the oven an hour ago, made it exactly per your recipe. Super moist but not too moist! Baked it 45 minutes but I'm at a high altitude. The chocolate chips were the PERFECT amount. I bet brown sugar splenda would be great too. I'm going to make it again to use up the rest of the zucchini and then freeze the loaf. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Delicious recipe, like to try this in the following days, so healthy but so great!

    ReplyDelete
  67. It's in the oven, can't wait to try it!! This is my third recipe from your site, love everything!! Bought everything for the brocolli pasta too, that's for dinner tomorrow night!! Thank you for helping me be successful with WW! :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. I made this the other day and it is so delicious! It's hard to eat only 1/16th at a time!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Baked this tonight, and it was the first time that I've baked anything from scratch, much less zucchini bread. (I think my husband was a little nervous!) It came out GREAT. Absolutely amazing. The chocolate chips were just enough sweetness. Baked it for 55 minutes, and mine still came out a little underdone, but I think that extra moistness just added to the feeling that it was a treat. I can't wait to make it again, and try my own variations! THANK YOU!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hi Gina, love your site which I've just discovered. I'm in Australia and wondering about your 2 ingredients for this choc chip zucchini bread:

    1 cup all purpose flour (we have either plain flour or self raising flour - do you know which would be best?) and

    1 cup white whole wheat flour (would wholemeal flour work?) Thanks!! Marion

    ReplyDelete
  71. I would use the plain flour and I'm thinking Wholemeal is the same as whole wheat?

    ReplyDelete
  72. I made this and it was wonderful! People couldn't believe that it was low fat and a lighter version. I bet this would be great with cinnamon and no choco chips as well. I am loving this site and love the fact that photos are included with every recipe. Thanks Gina!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I had to use bread flour because its what I had on hand.

    ReplyDelete
  74. My husband will love me more because of this site LOL. Love the recipes and most of them are things he loves to eat. Especially this recipe.

    ReplyDelete
  75. These were delicious! I was craving them since you posted the recipe. I didn't even care that it was 100 degrees here and I would have to turn on the oven. I had to bake them a little longer than you said but they came out super moist and there was just the right amount of chocolate chips to make me think these weren't as healthy as they really are. Thanks for another great recipe!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Love zucchini bread! I would mix it up a bit though and add some shredded carrots to the mix. This base bread recipe reminds me a lot of my own banana bread recipe I posted :) You really can't go wrong with a loaf like this!

    ReplyDelete
  77. This has good reviews, so I can't explain it, but this tasted like grass to me. It also refused to cook up after more than an hour in the oven.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Made this tonight, but I am sorry to say that did not meet my expectations...the recipe asked for too much zucchini - the bread smelled like zucchini and the moisture seemed to settle at the bottom. I would love to see a new and improved version of this. No one wanted to eat it so we ended up throwing it away :( My family said it tasted like a chocolate covered zucchini.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I can't see how this tasted like grass, my friends and family all had this and loved it. Sounds like you did something wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I did a gluten free version of this and it came out AMAZING....my friend said it was probably one of the BEST breads he had EVER eaten (he eats gluten free) Making more tonight..

    ReplyDelete
  81. I took this to work last week and everyone LOVED it! Now I'm making it again as muffins, for better portion control for myself! Thank you!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Jennifer, how did you make it gluten free, please share!!

    I plan on making these into muffins next week! It was so good!!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Gina, I would love to make this into muffins.....what would the points plus be?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Yes, again I am lucky girl since my dear friend Gina brought this to the beach for a tasty treat!!! Sure beats cut up fruit in tupperware haha (though I really like that too) but really this was a fantastic gift for 6 hungry girls!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I am making this a second time, patiently waiting for them to come out of the oven (made a double batch this time!)....

    Everyone here LOVES this bread!

    I use only white unbleached flour, and I peel the zucchini and remove the seeds before shredding it. ALSO, I use OLIVIO LIGHT, instead of butter, which makes my serving only 3 points plus!

    So so rich, more like a 'dessert' than the drier 'breads' I have made in the past.

    Thank you SO much Gina. My WW pals love it SO much when I bring my recipes in from you to share with them.

    Many times I am below my points plus goal for the day and I so look forward to having a piece of this bread! mmmmmmmmmm

    -Dianna

    ReplyDelete
  86. Thanks again Gina for another fab recipe!
    to the person asking about butter substitute. Use country crock instead of butter. I am lactose intolerant and I am totally okay with it.
    to the two people who didn't like it. When you shredded the zucchini, did you let it rest in a colander over a bowl for a few minutes to let some of the excess water escape? I had about half a cup to almost a whole cup of water that seeped out after shredding. I was never good in the kitchen till I started trying Gina's recipe's. They have helped build my confidence. Letting the water drip out of the zucc just seemed logical as it was so insanely moist!
    Thanks Gina,
    as always!

  87. When do you add the brown sugar? It's not part of the instructions. I'm wondering if that's why skinnytaste thought it tasted like grass. Also, if you want to make this into muffins instead of bread, how long should they bake for?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Just made this - my first of your recipes. It was delicious. It was a hit with three of my four kids which is a winner in my house. Prefect way to give the kids a treat in their lunchbox and perfect for me on Weight Watchers. Looking forward to exploring your site and trying many more recipes. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Thank you for this recipe! I have made 2 loaves already. I use brown sugar Splenda, add 1 mashed banana to the wet ingredients, use semi-sweet chocolate chips, and bake for total 40-41 mins instead of 45. Comes out moist and not overly sweet. Great for anytime eating. I do not tightly pack the zucchini when measuring it. I suspect that's where the excess moisture problems occur for those who mentioned it. I will add cinnamon and shredded carrot next time to change it up. Thanks for the suggestions fellow readers! I give this one 4 stars out of 5! I only short it one star for not being absolutely calorie free! Teehee! Tnx again!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Yum! I had 3 zucchini and just kept mixing and mixing up batter until I had used it all up. I ended up with one loaf and then I put the rest in muffin tins. Can't wait to put some in the freezer :)

    ReplyDelete
  91. Gina....I went to Trader Joe's and bought some of their gluten free flour...it really came out amazing...made it again last night for my friend and he continues to rave that it is one of the BEST gluten free "treats" he has ever tasted...said there was NO way to tell that it was gluten free...I HIGHLY recommend this recipe...whether you make it gluten free or not...ALSO.....last night made him the Pineapple fried rice with shrimp..PERFECT for those gluten free people...tonight I am making the chicken enchiladas for a bunch of friends...they LOVE my cooking now...thanks to YOU>>>

    ReplyDelete
  92. This is one of the best zucchini breads I have ever made. The first time was a bit drier than the second. I made a few small changes. I used half of the wheat flour (because I ran out!) and doubled the regular flour. In addition, I added a tsp. of cinnamon because I missed this flavor from other times that I baked zucchini bread. The finished product was great! Thanks for providing so many wonderul recipes.

    ReplyDelete
  93. That's great to know, thanks Jennifer!!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Just made these as muffins and they turned out great! It took about 20 minutes at 325 for Muffins. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Just pulled my first loaf out of the oven. I've never worked with zucchini before, and I (oops!) grated it instead of shredded, so I think I may have had a little more moisture than normal, but I just baked it the full 55 minutes, and it looks and smells delicious! Even my three-year-old is excited to help with the "cucumber chocolate" bread he helped make! =)

    ReplyDelete
  96. I just made this bread and it was better than my "regular" recipe! Great site.

  100. I have been looking for a zucchini muffin recipe that wasn't so sugar laden and these were it! Everyone loved them. I omitted the chocolate chips and added in 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I've been making this so much and eating so much of it, I think I gained weight from it! :O
    This recipe is THEE BEST EVER!

    ReplyDelete
  102. This was such an easy recipe. I tried to make it and it didn't cook completely, even after 2 hours of bake time. What did I do wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Maybe your zucchini had too much liquid, or maybe you had too much zucchini? If I packed the zucchini it would probably have been one cup.

    ReplyDelete
  104. This bread is so awesome and moist! The only change I made was to add 1.5 tsp of cinnamon. Thanks for the great, healthy recipe!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I just made these and they are so yummy! I followed the recipe exactly (used regular whole wheat flour and bleached white flour).
    the only problem is I can't stop eating them!
    I love your site.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Thank you so much for this recipe. It has great healthy substitutes, but the hint of chocolate really hits this home - especially for my husband!

    ReplyDelete
  107. CAn u use the whole wheat pastry flour I have used in your muffin recipes?

    ReplyDelete
  108. Great Recipe! I've tryed and it was great! Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  109. This recipe is perfect...I have made it twice already! My cook time was definitely closer to 55 minutes and I think adding the chocolate chips to the dry mixture (before adding the wet ingredients) is a great way to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the bread. Thank you again for the recipe!!

    ReplyDelete
  110. I LOVE this bread! It was so easy to make and it's relatively healthy. My husband enjoys and even though my son refused to try it when he got home from school, by the time he finished dinner he reconsidered - he ate it for breakfast today too! A big win! Thanks for sharing this recipe! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  111. Oh my... !!! GINA, you are amazing!! My husband said, "Wow, these don't taste like they'd be healthy at all!" I made these into muffins using all white-whole-wheat flour, and they are so good! Mine only needed to bake for 31 minutes that way. The best 3 PTS I've eaten in quite a while :)

    ReplyDelete
  112. Making these now in muffin cups b/c I do not trust myself around bread or anything with chocolate! I was told to bake for only 25% of the time though when changing bread recipes to muffin recipes.. we'll see how it works!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I am VERY new to cooking at home and using recipes so I have a silly question... How do you shred zuccini? I mean, do you grate it? Thanks in advance! :)

    ReplyDelete
  114. Carol Ann, yes... just use the large hole side of your cheese grater :)

    ReplyDelete
  115. I just made this with my 4 year old. I doubled the recipe and have 3 smaller loafs in the oven right now. Can't wait till they're done!

  116. I made this tonight, and it is absolutely delicious! This will be a family favorite, for sure. Thanks for all your recipes!

    p.s. Dinner tonight was your skinny baked mac & cheese :) Another favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  117. OH my goodness! I found this through a Google search on my iPod, and made 2 loaves.... then while they were baking I made TWO MORE! This is the best zucchini bread EVER. I have 9 more zukes to use for something... maybe more of this! lol :)

    ReplyDelete
  118. Just made this and it came out really great! Made a few modifications to make it even healthier. Substituted the brown sugar with coconut sugar (can be found in most health food stores, it is so low in the glycemic index that diabetics can have it), and I also substituted the butter with equal amount of extra virgin coconut oil. I added 1 tsp of cinnamon as well. Baking time at 325 degrees was 1 hour. I recommend trying out these substitutions!

    ReplyDelete
  119. Gina, I know you have heard this a lot but this is a really delicious bread! I made mine into muffins, decreased the brown sugar by 1/2, and replaced it with Splenda brown sugar. They took about 35 minutes to bake completely, but the wait was so worth it! Mildly sweet, moist, and studded with just the right amount of chocolate chips. I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

    ReplyDelete
  120. I am baking this right now (2 loaves) and my house smells incredible. Methinks this is yet another hit courtesy of you Gina! Much thanks!!!

  125. I don't know if anyone else mentioned this in the comments (I didn't read through them all) but in the directions you forgot to add the part about mixing the brown sugar in. It's in the ingredient list, but not the directions. I made this last night and totally forgot to add the sugar... how silly am I. Guess I'll have to try again.

  126. Hi There! I just tired this today, I think I did something wrong, my bread didn't rise at all! was it supposed to be 1tsp and 1/8 tsp of baking soda OR just 1/8? I think maybe I read that to mean just 1/8.

    Also with the Zicchuni - It is 1Cup and a half or just one 1/2 cup?

  128. Anonymous question about measurements: I used 1 and 1/8 tsp of baking soda and 1 and 1/2 cup zucchini and it came out amazingly. Hope that helps. :)

  129. Just came out of the oven and it is very Yummy! Gave it to my kids off the bus and they ate it up...I did add a few more choc chips than the recipe called for. Wanted to know if the cooking time is the same if you make as muffins?

  130. When making this, do you peel the zucchini before shredding it?

  132. i plan to make these but would like to make with jarred baby food instead of the applesauce and zucchini. i have a apple, zucchini cinammon baby food that my little one loved and this way she wouldnt know it was in there because its pureed.

    how would you adjust the applesauce/zucchini measurements for that? i was thinking 2c of the puree instead of 1 1/2c zucchini and 1c applesauce?

  134. I made this recipe as muffins the other night, they are amazing! I told the kids they were chocolate chip muffins because I knew they would make a face at the zucchini part. They love them. They are so sweet, and I know they are healthy. Thanks for your site, I will be visiting often for recipes.
