A moist and fudgy zucchini bread loaded with cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips, offering a perfect balance of indulgence and wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • Optional: gluten-free flour blend (1:1 substitute for all-purpose flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Shred zucchini using a box grater and squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  5. Fold the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture gently.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips (tossed with a tablespoon of flour if desired to prevent sinking).
  8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool bread in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to keep them suspended. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
