Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (about 200g) grated zucchini, squeezed gently to remove excess water
  • 3/4 cup (130g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate about 2 cups (200g) of zucchini finely and squeeze gently with a towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Slowly whisk in oil and vanilla extract.
  5. Fold grated zucchini into the wet mixture gently.
  6. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and fold carefully until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap pan lightly to settle batter and remove air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 55–65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes with a toothpick. It’s done when toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Grate zucchini finely and squeeze excess water gently to maintain moisture without sogginess. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Test doneness with a toothpick starting at 55 minutes. Let bread cool completely before slicing for clean pieces.
