Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (120g) plain yogurt (full-fat or Greek)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups grated, 200g), unpeeled
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor; do not squeeze out the moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan lightly to remove air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking for doneness at 55 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not drain the zucchini to keep the bread moist. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Fold batter gently to avoid toughness. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing for best texture.
