Equipment

  • 2 Large Mixing Bowls
  • 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan
  • Whisk
  • Box grater
  • Nut milk bag or clean kitchen towel
  • Cooking spray or butter/oil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups zucchini grated and squeezed
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Get your oven hot: First, set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan so the bread won’t stick later on.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a big bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of cocoa powder, 1 tsp of baking soda, ½ tsp of baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Mix the wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the 2 large eggs with the ½ cup of vegetable oil, ½ cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 2 tsp of vanilla.
  • Prepare the Zucchini: Grate 2 cups of zucchini and use a clean towel to squeeze out all the extra water until it’s nice and dry.
  • Put it all together: Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir gently. Then, fold in your squeezed zucchini and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Time to bake: Pour the batter into your pan and bake it for 50-60 minutes. You can check if it’s done by poking it with a toothpick.
  • Let it cool down: Let your loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before you move it to a wire rack to cool all the way.

Notes

  • Really squeeze that zucchini! It makes a big difference in how your bread turns out.
  • Try not to mix the batter too much, or your bread might get tough.
  • Waiting for the bread to cool before cutting it helps keep it from falling apart.
  • You can keep your bread in a sealed container on the counter for a few days.
  • Add a dash of coffee powder with the cocoa to make the chocolate taste even richer.
