Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Grate zucchini on the large holes of your box grater. Drain the grated zucchini through a fine-mesh sieve.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Notes

You can use any of your favorite flavor of chocolate chips, we use semi-sweet in this recipe.
If you are not a fan of chocolate you can leave it out and still have a delicious bread.
This can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
Easily double or triple this recipe as it stores well.
You can add in nuts if you want a nutty zucchini bread recipe, pecans or walnuts are perfect.
