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 the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs, whisking until well blended.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly mixed and batter loosens.
- Gently fold in 1 ¼ cups of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, topping it with the leftover chocolate chips, pressing gently into the batter.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center shows a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
Make sure to press the grated zucchini gently and not wring it dry to keep the bread moist.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for freshness.
This bread can be frozen. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.
