Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (164 g) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 ½ cups grated zucchini, gently pressed to remove excess moisture (do not wring dry)
- 1 ½ cups (255 g) milk chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch (or 8 ½×4 ½-inch) loaf pan with nonstick spray or prepare using the butter and flour method.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed and the batter loosens.
- Fold in 1 ¼ cups of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top, gently pressing them into the batter.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter). If the bread begins browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
