- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread light.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and the sugar-free chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end to avoid overbaking.
Cooling and Serving
- Once done, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious loaf!
