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, gently pressed to remove excess moisture
- 1 ½ cups (255 g) milk chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with nonstick spray or using butter and flour.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined—the batter will be thick.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
- Add in 1 ¼ cups of the chocolate chips, mixed in thoroughly. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the top, pressing them in gently.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes. To confirm doneness, insert a toothpick in the middle; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. If the bread starts browning too fast, cover with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
Make sure to gently press the grated zucchini to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
Store leftover bread wrapped in plastic for up to 5 days at room temperature.
You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
