A rich, fudgy zucchini bread studded with melty double chocolate chips and a subtle veggie sweetness, perfect for a comforting treat or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line with parchment paper if desired.
  2. Grate 1 ½ cups of zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Stir to combine.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and brown sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chunks (if using).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come 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.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini dry to avoid soggy bread. Toss chocolate chips in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Avoid overmixing batter to keep bread tender.
