When chocolate meets zucchini in sourdough heaven 🍫🥒✨

Who said sneaking in veggies can't be indulgent? This ultra-moist chocolate chip zucchini bread gets an extra tang from our sourdough starter. Trust me, your garden's excess zucchini has never tasted this good!

Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup active sourdough starter (100% hydration)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
- 1 cup chocolate chips

Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

# # Instructions

1. **Prep Work:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper
- Grate zucchini and let sit in a colander to drain excess moisture

2. **Mix Wet Ingredients:**
- In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla
- Stir until well combined
- Fold in grated zucchini

3. **Combine Dry Ingredients:**
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

4. **Make the Batter:**
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined
- Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping
- Be careful not to overmix

5. **Bake:**
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan
- Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire rack

# # Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- Can be frozen for up to 3 months

# # Notes
- Don't squeeze moisture out of zucchini - it helps keep the bread moist
- Active sourdough starter should be fed 4-8 hours before use
- Can substitute whole wheat flour for up to 1 cup of the all-purpose flour
