Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed (50 g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (neutral oil like canola preferred)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium-sized zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups or 250 g, squeezed of excess moisture)
  • 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for an easy release.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Begin checking at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy bread. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation. Check oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking. Quality chocolate chips melt better and add rich flavor. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flours and oils as suggested.
