Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini to measure out 1 1/2 cups, then squeeze out the excess water.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Then, stir in sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and squeezed zucchini.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently combine using a rubber spatula.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool on a rack for about 30-40 minutes before slicing. Optionally, top with flaky sea salt before serving.

Notes

If you prefer a sweeter bread, consider adding an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
Ensure the zucchini is well squeezed to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
Store leftover bread covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for freshness.
