Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed dry)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Squeeze the grated zucchini very well to remove as much moisture as possible. This helps prevent a soggy bread.
- For a richer flavor, you can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar, or a mix of both.
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips for added texture.
- This bread freezes well. Let it cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil.
