A moist and chocolaty zucchini bread with double chocolate chips, perfect for a quick homemade treat that balances indulgence with a touch of wholesome veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), finely shredded and lightly squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim 2 medium zucchinis. Using a box grater or food processor, shred them finely. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir to combine evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk ¾ cup granulated sugar with ⅓ cup vegetable oil until smooth. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry bowl and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the shredded zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips evenly.
  5. Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from shredded zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips and neutral oil like coconut or avocado oil.
