Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (can substitute with melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), unpeeled and squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • ¾ cup (135g) mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 2 ounces (55g) chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line 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 water.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and mini chocolate chips. If using, fold in chopped dark chocolate chunks.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra mini chips on top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Fold wet and dry ingredients gently to keep bread tender. Check doneness with toothpick; bread should be moist inside. Let bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Mini chips melt better than larger chips or chunks. Optional variations include gluten-free flour, vegan substitutions, nuts, spices, and orange zest.
