A moist and rich double chocolate chip zucchini bread that is easy to make, perfect for beginners, and packed with chocolatey goodness and subtle vegetable moisture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ⅔ cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (70g) packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate 1 ½ cups (150g) zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture, then add the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy bread. Mix batter just until combined to prevent toughness. Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Check freshness of baking soda and powder to avoid sinking.
