Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
9x5-inch Loaf Pan

Ingredients

1 zucchini 140-170 grams
1½ cups all-purpose flour 180 grams
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking powder 2 grams
½ teaspoon baking soda 3 grams
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 grams
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs 100 grams
½ cup vegetable oil 100 grams
1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips 113 grams

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Grate the zucchini on the large holes of your box grater. Drain the grated zucchini through a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside.
1 zucchini
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

When using the box grater to grate the zucchini, do so over a large bowl to quickly catch all the grated pieces. It is the best way to avoid a mess.
If you do not have semisweet chocolate chips, you can use other kinds, such as milk chocolate or dark chocolate. You can also use a combination of chips, such as white chocolate and milk chocolate.
If you would like to add a glaze to your bread, combine milk and powdered sugar and then drizzle it over your bread after removing it from the oven.

Storage: Store chocolate chip zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
