Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup finely shredded zucchini (do not drain)
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
¾ cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk sugar, egg, oil, vanilla, and sour cream until smooth.
Fold in freshly shredded zucchini (no need to squeeze it dry).
Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, top with extra chocolate chips, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean when done.
Notes
Do not drain the zucchini—it adds moisture to the bread.
Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
