Directions
- STEP 1: Pre-heat oven and prep baking dish. Pre-heat oven to 325° F (163°C) and spray 3 standard loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- STEP 2: Wash and prep your zucchinis. Wash and grate your zucchinis. Measure out 4 cups of shredded zucchini and set aside. There is no need to pat your zucchini dry – this is what adds moisture to your bread!
- STEP 3: Make your flax “eggs”: Mix the flax and water together in a small dish and set aside. Goal to have it sit at least 5 minutes to thicken.
- STEP 4: Mix together wet ingredients, sugar, and zucchini. Beat the eggs well, then add in both sugars, oil, flax/water mixture, the shredded zucchini, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- STEP 5: Add in dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients (if preferred, you can mix together in a separate bowl prior to adding to your wet ingredients). Stir until well combined and a batter is formed. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- STEP 6: Divide batter evenly between 3 loaf pans. If desired, top with additional chocolate chips.
- STEP 7: Bake. Place in the oven and bake for 60-75 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaves.
- STEP 8: Cool loaves in their pans for 10-15 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack. Allow your loaves to cool in their pans for 10-15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- STEP 9: Slice and serve: Slice and enjoy! I like to eat mine with some butter.
