Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and peanut butter until evenly distributed.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to prevent a soggy bread.
  • You can substitute natural peanut butter, but it may affect the texture slightly.
  • For an extra peanut butter flavor, drizzle melted peanut butter over the top once cooled.
