This moist and indulgent White Chocolate Chip Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread is an intensely rich chocolatey treat studded and topped with creamy chips. And with a perfect crispy top to add to it.
Valentine’s Day couple goals!
Jump to RecipeThis recipe is based off of my new friend Caitlin aka Kalefornia Kravings’ recipe has been on my list for at least 2 months now, but I got obsessed with PB for a while – quite a while – so all the chocolate stuff just to the background.
So when the choco phase finally came back last week, I made a trip to Sprouts – my new favorite grocery store btw – just to buy a ton of zucchini. And this was on my way to work, so I just had like 2lbs of zuke in my bagpack beside me.
Just another day in the life of a Food Blogger day. lol
Anyway, I was finally ready to make this, wrote down the recipe and everything.
- For the flour, I went for whole wheat to make this a whole grain bread
- Almond milk to keep it dairy free
But then came the biggest dilemma ever.
The chocolate chips
I knew I had to add some in there – that was out of the question – but what I couldn’t decide was Dark or White.
Dark would let me indulge as I normally would, but white would make for something a little different – and better? – in the pictures.
I ended up posting a poll on my Insta story asking for suggestions, and the regular/dark won: 56% vs 44%.
But as you probably noticed already, I went for the white chocolate chips. Used Choc Zero‘s creamy ones here.
I guess this is like the thing with doing a coin toss to make a decision. It’s how you feel about the result that tells you what you need to do, not the result itself.
The baking:
Now that everything was in place, all I needed was 1 hour for this delicious zucchini loaf. And I guess waiting for 30 minutes to let it cool, but lets just say 1 hour coz it sounds better.
The quickbread turned out just perfect.
- Perfect rise
- Perfect crispy crumb
- Perfect(ly) moist
- Perfect(ly) chocolatey!
And OH WHAT A PERFECT COMBO!
And if that wasn’t good enough
- This is a breakfast bread. Now you can have chocolate in the morning!
- Its super easy to make. Just shred the zuke, mix drys, mix wets, mix all, BAKE.
- Freezer- friendly! Make this days or weeks in advance and stash it away for when the chocolate cravings hit!

Omg this bread was the best!!! It turned out so good. It was gone in under 30 minutes haha. Highly recommend it. Xx
30 minutes? Wow! It really is one of my top 2 or 3 favorites, I’m so glad you liked it just as much!
I don’t usually like dark chocolate but this one is making me want to switch to the dark side <3
The only acceptable reason to move over I’d say! Happy you enjoyed!
