Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (170g) mixed semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (60g) toasted chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add the squeezed zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined.
  6. Pour the wet zucchini mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted walnuts gently.
  8. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it is done.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips for balanced sweetness. Toast walnuts before adding for enhanced flavor and crunch. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Let bread cool completely before slicing.
