  • Now add the flour mix to the wet ingredients. Add the flour in 3 parts, mixing after each addition but be careful not to over-mix.
  • Fold in the grated zucchini. I manually grated the zucchini using a simple kitchen grater, it took me less than 5 minutes to do it.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. This is optional, you can eve add some nuts here.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared baking pan and bake at 350 F degrees for 50-55 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine was done in 55 minutes.
  • Remove this easy zucchini bread from the oven and let it sit in the pan for around 20 minutes, then run a knife around to pan to release it.
  • Place the bread on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into slices.
