Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread for 12 Slices

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
2. Grate the zucchini using the medium holes of a box grater, leaving the moisture in the shreds.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth, then stir in the grated zucchini.
4. Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon directly into the bowl. Stir with a spatula until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack.
