Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium zucchini
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup neutral tasting vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with oil.
- Trim the zucchini's ends and shred it using a cheese grater. Place the zucchini shreds in a tea towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. Set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the shredded zucchini and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake at 350°F for 60-65 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the loaf cool completely before removing it from the pan. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, ensure that you squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to avoid a soggy loaf.
Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruits for added texture and flavor.
