Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir the grated, squeezed zucchini into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the zucchini loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step keeps your bread from becoming soggy.
For an even richer flavor, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
If you want a slightly spiced loaf, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
