Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture)
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 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 out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to ensure a good texture.
For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best results.
