Moist Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for a 'sling' lift.
3. Grate the zucchini using the medium hole of your grater; do not squeeze the water out.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until no clumps remain.
5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir with a spatula until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and ¾ cup of chocolate chips. Mix only until the zucchini is evenly distributed.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips across the surface.
9. Bake for 50–60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
10. Allow the bread to cool in the pan before removing and slicing.
