A moist and tender zucchini bread with a rich double dose of chocolate from cocoa powder and chocolate chips, perfect for cozy mornings or afternoon tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (about 200g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate about 1 ½ cups of zucchini using a box grater. Place 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, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth and slightly fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes with a toothpick. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out zucchini moisture thoroughly to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough bread. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Muffin baking option: 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
