Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the vegetable oil, sugar, shredded zucchini, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For extra moisture, make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid from the shredded zucchini. You can substitute applesauce for part of the oil for a healthier option.
