Ingredients

Scale

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips (coated in flour)
1 tablespoon flour (for coating chocolate chips)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare two loaf pans with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and grated zucchini until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Toss the chocolate chips with the additional tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking and fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for about one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
