Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir in grated zucchini.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini—it’s essential for the bread’s texture.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for a more even distribution.
  • Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
