Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini (do not drain)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not squeeze the zucchini; its moisture keeps the bread fudgy and moist.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Use whole wheat flour for a more wholesome variation.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • This bread freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
