Enjoy a moist and delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bread, a perfect way to sneak in some veggies with a sweet, chocolatey treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until well combined.
  4. Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients and mix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to prevent a soggy bread.
  • For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the dry ingredients.
  • This bread is delicious served plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
