A delightful twist on the classic zucchini bread, enhanced with chocolate chips for a sweet treat.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly helps to incorporate air, making the loaf lighter.
Grate the zucchini and fold it into the egg mixture.
Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini for a better texture.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
Fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips.
Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for presentation.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 50 minutes to ensure it doesn't overbake.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the loaf from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve your delicious Chocolate Chip Zucchini Loaf. Enjoy!
Pair with a hot beverage for a comforting treat.
