Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons 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, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini. This prevents a soggy bread.
For an extra moist bread, you can use a combination of vegetable oil and unsweetened applesauce.
You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips if desired.
Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
