Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined and free of lumps.

Add wet ingredients: oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.

Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until smooth, noting that the batter will be thick.

Grate the zucchini, ensuring to check for any bad spots and using smaller zucchinis without seeds.

Add the grated zucchini to the batter without squeezing out moisture.

Fold in chocolate chips into the batter until well incorporated.

Pour the batter into a loaf pan, ensuring to scrape all of it out.

Spread the batter evenly in the pan and optionally create a slight indentation in the middle.

Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top for a crusty finish (optional).

Bake in the oven until done, allowing it to cool before slicing.
