Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini, chocolate chunks, and shredded coconut.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy loaf.
  • You can substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks if preferred.
  • For added flavor, toast the coconut before adding it to the batter.
