Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, shredded
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Milk or dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded zucchini and semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the optional chocolate chips on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are fine).

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
