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
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium)
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 and granulated 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.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 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
Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze out any excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
For extra moistness, you can add 1/4 cup of sour cream or plain yogurt to the batter.
Chocolate chip zucchini bread is best enjoyed the day it’s made, but it will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
