Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (164 g) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 ½ cups grated zucchini
- 1 ½ cups (255 g) milk chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or butter and flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs, whisking until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and stir until just mixed. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in the grated zucchini evenly into the batter, allowing it to loosen a bit.
- Incorporate 1 ¼ cups of the chocolate chips before transferring the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips, pressing them in gently.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. If browning too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once done, let the bread cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
For best results, do not wring the grated zucchini dry; just gently press to remove excess moisture.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts or add spices like cinnamon for a different flavor.
