Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 2 medium) zucchini, finely shredded and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Shred 1 ½ cups of zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Fold the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients gently with a spatula.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two parts, folding carefully until just combined.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Fold ingredients gently to keep bread tender. Cover with foil if edges brown too fast. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Bread tastes better the next day. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free butter for dietary needs.
