A moist and flavorful zucchini bread with a rich double chocolate chip twist, balancing indulgence and healthfulness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), lightly squeezed
  • 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Lightly squeeze to remove excess moisture but keep it juicy.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini gently into the wet mixture.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.

Notes

Do not over-drain the zucchini to keep moisture. Fold ingredients gently to avoid tough bread. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Cover with foil if top browns too fast. Grease or line pan well to prevent sticking.
