Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed lightly
  • 1½ cups (270g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate zucchini and gently squeeze out excess moisture, leaving it moist. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  4. In another bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in grated zucchini and chocolate chips evenly. Add nuts if using.
  7. Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. If browning too fast, tent with foil after 40 minutes. Bake longer if toothpick is wet.
  10. Cool bread in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Grate zucchini finely but keep some moisture for tenderness. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Do not overmix batter to avoid tough bread. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips balance sweetness well. For gluten-free, use a blend with xanthan gum. For dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips and substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil.
