Chocolate Zucchini Bread
This chocolate zucchini bread is extra moist, decadent, and so easy to make! Made with cocoa powder and chocolate chips, you'd never guess there's zucchini in it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (I like dark chocolate)
- 2 cups grated zucchini (do not drain excess liquid)
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the zucchini, oil, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter just comes together- don't overmix.
- Divide the batter between the two prepared pans. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. If the tops are browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil after about 30 minutes.
- Cool the bread in the pans for 30 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To bake 1 loaf instead, use a 9x5-inch loaf pan and bake at 325°F for 75-90 minutes.
