- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini, well-drained
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions

- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined.

- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.

- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained to prevent the bread from becoming too moist.
- You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
- For a richer flavor, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
