Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1 ½ cups (255 g) milk chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or use the butter and flour method.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt using a whisk.
- In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well blended.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly incorporated with the batter.
- Fold in 1 ¼ cups of milk chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, topping it with the remaining chocolate chips, pressing them in slightly.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Use foil if browning occurs.
- Cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the batter.
