Grate a medium zucchini on the fine side of your grater to get 2 cups' worth and set it aside.

In a large bowl, add 2 eggs, 1 cup of brown sugar, ⅓ cup of vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 1 cup of sour cream.

Whisk until everything is combined.

Sift in 2 ⅓ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Stir just until the flour starts to combine.

Add the grated zucchini and 1 cup of mini chocolate chips, and fold until everything is combined.

Spray a loaf pan with cooking oil and add all the batter.

Top with turbinado sugar for added crunch (optional).

Bake in the oven at 350°F for around 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool for 30 minutes in the pan, then flip over to release.

Cut the loaf into slices while still warm or completely cooled.
