Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a rich, moist quick bread that combines deep chocolate flavor with shredded zucchini for a tender, bakery-style loaf. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snacking, it’s a great way to use up extra zucchini while sneaking in a little nutrition.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (moisture squeezed out)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in shredded zucchini and most of the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
