A rich and moist zucchini bread loaded with dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips, balancing chocolatey richness with fresh zucchini moisture for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed dry
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (90g)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients gently.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and fold carefully until just combined.
  7. Fold in the dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  8. Scoop the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and scatter the reserved chocolate chips on the surface.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs and oil for smooth mixing. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing for best texture.
