Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 1 large egg serves as the binding agent, adding moisture
  • ½ cup vegetable oil keeps the bread moist and adds richness
  • ½ cup sour cream contributes to a tender crumb
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract infuses the bread with warmth
  • ½ cup granulated sugar adds sweetness
  • ½ cup brown sugar provides deeper caramel flavors
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour the foundation of the bread
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon elevates the flavor profile
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda acts as a leavening agent

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it and dusting with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, vegetable oil, sour cream, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  • Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use medium-sized zucchini to avoid excess moisture. Allow the bread to cool properly to avoid crumbling while slicing.
