How to Make Sweet Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  3. Add 3 cups shredded zucchini and stir to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans), and 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
