Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed dry)
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate about 2 medium zucchinis to get 1 1/2 cups. Place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Sifting is optional.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar with vegetable oil. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  5. Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, folding carefully with a spatula. Stop mixing once no flour streaks remain.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from grated zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Fold ingredients gently to keep bread light and tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Room temperature eggs blend better. For vegan or gluten-free options, see variations.
