Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g), sifted
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (35g), natural cocoa preferred
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (120ml), can substitute with melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (170g), squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (175g)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry 2 medium zucchinis (about 1 1/2 cups shredded). Shred finely using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir shredded zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick starting at 50 minutes. Toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool bread in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Fold ingredients gently to prevent dense bread. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free chocolate chips for dietary needs.
