Print Recipe

A rich, fudgy zucchini bread that combines shredded zucchini with cocoa powder and chocolate chips for a moist, tender loaf perfect for snacks or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed dry
  • ¾ cup (130 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Sift cocoa powder and flour to avoid lumps.
  4. In another bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients, then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent crumbling.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Use folding motion to mix batter to keep bread tender. Cover pan with foil halfway through baking if edges brown too quickly. Muffin variation: bake 20-25 minutes.
