Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (43g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 2 medium) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate your zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Wrap the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture to get about 1 ½ cups packed zucchini.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and espresso powder until well combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer or whisk until pale and fluffy. Slowly add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil halfway through if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
