Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis (about 1 ½ cups shredded)

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Once grated, place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step ensures the bread isn’t too watery.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until well combined. Then add in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly mixed.

          Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the bread's texture.

            Fold in Zucchini and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the grated zucchini into the batter. Once it’s evenly mixed, add the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using), folding them in until just distributed throughout the batter.

              Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the zucchini bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Once cooled, slice and enjoy your chewy chocolate chip zucchini bread! It’s perfect on its own or with a smear of cream cheese for an extra treat.
