Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Zucchini Bread
Zucchini is by far and away my favorite vegetable, so you can imagine my surprise when we first arrived in England and I had the hardest time finding them in the grocery store.
They call them courgettes here so it was really throwing me off when I was looking through the produce aisles! I figured it out at last and was able to buy some to make this super-indulgent Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Zucchini Bread this past weekend.
If you grow zucchini or squash in your garden be sure to read how to pollinate squash by hand to increase your harvest!
Both pumpkin and zucchini always add so much moisture to recipes and this bread is no different. It’s dense and sweet and perfect both fresh warm from the oven or cooled the next day. I’m telling myself that with two different vegetables in the mix it’s definitely healthy, right?

How to Make Pumpkin Zucchini Bread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9″ loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl or stand mixer (affiliate link) combine dry ingredients (through brown sugar) and mix to blend. In another medium bowl combine eggs, pumpkin, butter, vanilla, and zucchini. Add to dry mixture and mix until combined.
Gently stir in chocolate chips. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for one hour. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes before removing to wire rack. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
Special Tip-for extra “pretty” bread add a few chocolate chips to the top of the batter after pouring it in the pan!
