Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (119ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (188g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your preferred type)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add Dry Ingredients:
    Stir in the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour, stirring just until combined.
  • Incorporate Zucchini and Chocolate Chips:
    Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Transfer to Pan:
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top for a beautiful presentation.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using an 8×4-inch pan, the bread will have a more domed top, while a 9×5-inch pan will produce a flatter loaf.
  • Cool:
    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store:
    Store the cooled bread at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap, or freeze for longer storage. You can freeze the whole loaf or individual slices in sandwich bags for easy grab-and-go snacks.

Notes

  • If you prefer a more chocolatey bread, feel free to add an extra ½ cup of chocolate chips.
  • Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter to avoid a soggy bread.
