Chocolate Chip Orange Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

2. 2

   Sift flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and baking powder together in a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until well blended. Stir in zucchini, oil, nuts, chocolate chips, orange zest, and vanilla until well combined. Blend in flour mixture. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing loaves from the pans. Chill loaves in the refrigerator before slicing.
