Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Makes 12 muffins or one standard loaf

What you need:

  • One bag of Belly's Classic Banana Bread Mix
  • 1.5 C Shredded Zucchini (about 1.5-2 zucchinis)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 C Oil (we love avocado oil!)
  • 1/4 C Milk (we used almond!)
  • 1 C Chocolate Chips - optional, but not really :) 

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350F and preparing a standard bread pan or 12 muffin tins with liners or nonstick spray.
  2. Prepare the zucchini by washing it and trimming the ends. Using the side of the box grater with the largest holes, grate 1.5 cups of zucchini into course pieces.
  3. Use a paper towel to pat the shredded zucchini and soak up some of the excess liquid. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a medium sized mixing bowl. 
  4. Add the eggs, oil and milk. Whisk to combine all of the ingredients.
  5. Add one bag of Belly's Classic Banana Bread Mix. Stir to form the batter.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared bread pan or muffin tin. Baking at 350F for 50-60 minutes (zucchini bread) or 20-22 minutes (zucchini muffins) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. 
  8. Allow bread to cool before digging in. Enjoy!

Additional Tips:

If not adding chocolate chips, you may want to add a bit more sweetness. Try reducing the milk and adding a few tablespoons of maple syrup.
