Ingredients

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar packed
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups zucchini grated, drained in a sieve to remove excess moisture
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the grated zucchini.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Transfer the loaf pan to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

  1. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini for the best bread texture.
  2. Check the bread's doneness with a toothpick to ensure it's fully baked.
  3. The bread tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. You can swap out the dark chocolate chips for milk or white chocolate, or even nuts for a different twist.
  5. If storing, make sure the bread is completely cooled before wrapping to avoid condensation.
