Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. The single most important step: grate the zucchini, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible — excess moisture will make the bread gummy and prevent it from rising properly.

  2. 2

    Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in the squeezed zucchini, walnuts, and chocolate chips.

  3. 3

    Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 55–65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown and domed. If the top browns too quickly after 40 minutes, tent loosely with foil. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack. Slice only when completely cool.
