Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini), squeezed dry
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Squeezing the excess moisture from the grated zucchini is key to preventing a soggy bread.
For an extra moist loaf, you can add 1/4 cup of sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
Ensure your zucchini is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
