Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

  • 3 cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 ¼ cups choc chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees or 160 degrees fan forced.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.  Then fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the cubes, fill up to ⅔ full to prevent overflow when baking.  Select two 1-cup or two 2-cup cubes or use one of each.
  6. It is cooked when a skewer comes out clean once inserted in the centre of the cube. 1-cup cube approx. 35 minutes of baking time. 2-cup tray bake for at least another 10 minutes more (approx. 45 mins).
  7. Once fully baked, let stand for 10-15 minutes. When cool, flip trays over and gently push out each loaf.

For freezer meal prep:
Once fully cool, pop the lid on the cube and place in freezer. If the bread is too tall for the lid, remove from the cube and place in a freezer safe bag.
