Step-By-Step Instructions
Prepare the Pan. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper, leaving two sides overhanging. Spray the parchment as well.
Prep the Zucchini. Grate the zucchini and measure 2 loosely packed cups. To squeeze it dry, I usually wrap the zucchini in paper towels and squeeze with all my might until very little moisture remains.
Mix the Wet Ingredients (photo 1). In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the Dry Ingredients (photo 2). Sprinkle the cinnamon, baking soda, and salt over the wet ingredients. Whisk briefly to combine. Add both flours, then stir just until the flour disappears. (Overmixing develops gluten and can make quick breads tough.)
Fold Everything Together (photo 3). Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
Bake. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Scatter a few extra chocolate chips over the surface. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Around the 50-minute mark, start checking for doneness. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs (melted chocolate doesn’t count) and the loaf should also spring back lightly when gently pressed in the center.
Cool. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment handles to lift it onto a wire rack. Wait until it’s completely cool before slicing. ENJOY!
