- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups shredded zucchini (lightly drained)
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Grate zucchini and gently squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in zucchini, then add dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.

- Pour into loaf pan, smooth top, and bake 50–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter—it should be just combined.
- You can substitute half the flour with whole wheat for added nutrition.
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
- For a lighter loaf, reduce sugar by 2 tablespoons.
