Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×5-inch (or 8 ½×4 ½-inch) loaf pan with nonstick spray or the butter and flour method.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt through whisking.
In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs until fully combined.
Blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Expect a thick batter.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini until well distributed, loosening the batter slightly.
Incorporate 1 ¼ cups of the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top, pressing them in.
Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. If browning too quickly, tent with foil during the last baking phase.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the zucchini is gently pressed to remove excess moisture for the best texture.
The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Feel free to substitute with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
