4. Mix the egg and sugar mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.

 
5. Fold in the zucchini, pushing the dough around to make sure the zucchini is evenly spread throughout.

 
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, scraping down the sides. Sprinkle with chips. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

 
7. Remove from oven and let cool, in the pan, on a wire rack. When it is cool enough to handle the pan, tip bread out onto wire rack and cool completely.
