First I grated the zucchini so it would be ready to add in with the dry ingredients later.

Next I added vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, meringue powder and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.

I used a wire whisk to blend the wet ingredients together.

Now I dumped the flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt into the mixing bowl on top of the wet ingredients but I did not stir.

I placed the grated zucchini on top of the dry ingredients in the bowl.  I carefully folded the dry ingredients and the zucchini together and only absorbed a small amount of the wet ingredients.

Once all of the grated zucchini was coated in the flour I then stirred together the dry and wet ingredients.

At this point I added some chocolate chips.  These are optional and whether or not you add them will be based on personal preference.

I folded in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.

When the chocolate chips were well blended I used a rubber spatula to scrape the batter into a loaf pan that I had greased and lined with parchment paper.

Now the zucchini loaf was ready for the oven.  I baked it at 350F for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre came out clean.

I left the loaf to cool in the pan until I was ready to serve it.

Now it was ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
