Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute with melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), gently squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. Shred about 2 medium zucchinis to yield 1 1/2 cups. Gently squeeze out excess water but keep some moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sifted flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Fold grated zucchini into the wet mixture gently.
  6. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and fold carefully with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts.
  8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
  10. Cool bread in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not over-drain zucchini to keep bread moist. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Fold ingredients gently to avoid tough bread. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Start checking doneness at 50 minutes and tent with foil if browning too fast. Cool completely before slicing to set texture.
