Ingredients
- 2 cups zucchini grated, around 2 medium-sized zucchini for two cups
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 3/4 cup oil vegetable, avocado, olive or any cooking oil works
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet, plus extra for the top of the loaf
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped, plus extra for the top of the loaf
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper or spray the pan with cooking spray oil generously.
- Grate the fresh zucchini in a food processor or into a medium bowl. With several paper towels, pat the zucchini dry to remove excess moisture. Set the zucchini to the side.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, add eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla, Mix with a silicone spatula until the sugar dissolves and is well mixed.
- In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together the dry ingredients until well blended.
- Add half the flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Then add the second half of the flour mixture and mix until a batter forms and the flour is fully mixed in.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts and fold them into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Add a few extra chocolate chips and walnut pieces to the top of the bread.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes. After 45 minutes, check to make sure bread isn’t getting too dark on top. If it is getting dark, cover the pan with foil and continue baking until fully baked in the center. The bread is done when a toothpick comes out from the center clean without batter.
- Remove the bread from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan onto a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
