- Add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once, and stir to combine.
- Stir in the zucchini.
- Add the chocolate chips and give it a stir.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Keto Zucchini Bread FAQs
Does Zucchini Bread Taste Like Zucchini?
The flavor of zucchini is so mild that you can’t taste it in this quick bread. Zucchini Bread is commonly flavored with a touch of cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar.
Do You Peel Zucchini for Zucchini Bread?
No! The beauty of using zucchini in quick bread is that the skin is very thin. When you shred the zucchini (on a cheese grater) it blends in well with the rest of the shredded zucchini.
Do You Squeeze Water Out of Zucchini for Bread?
No. Unless the zucchini is extra watery (like dripping with water), there’s no need to squeeze the water out. Actually, the high moisture content of zucchini is what helps keep this quick bread moist.

Why Does Zucchini Bread Sink in the Middle?
There are quite a few things that can cause quick bread to sink. This list will help you troubleshoot:
- Check your leaveners. If the leavening agent (such as baking powder or baking soda) is expired or if you use too much of it, your bread can sink.
- Follow the recipe and measure your ingredients carefully. If there’s too much sugar your bread can sink, or if there’s too much moisture.
- Use the right size pan. If the pan is too small it can cause your bread to sink in the middle.
- Make sure the bread is fully cooked in the center. The easiest way to do this is to insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out dry or with just a crumb or two, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool before slicing. It will smell wonderful, so this really is an effort in patience! At least give it 20 minutes to cool before you slice it up.
