Equipment

9 x 5 loaf pan
Vegetable peeler
Spatula
Mixing bowls
parchment paper

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter melted
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups zucchini peeled and shredded (about 2 medium zucchinis)
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup walnuts optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper coming up over the top of the sides. Spray again and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Using a spatula, add the shredded zucchini just until combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and then sprinkle with more chocolate chips.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted in the center and comes out mostly clean. If your loaf seems to be browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
