Ingredients
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar packed
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups zucchini grated, drained in a sieve to remove excess moisture
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Transfer the loaf pan to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve.

Notes
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini for the best bread texture.
- Check the bread's doneness with a toothpick to ensure it's fully baked.
- The bread tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together beautifully.
- You can swap out the dark chocolate chips for milk or white chocolate, or even nuts for a different twist.
- If storing, make sure the bread is completely cooled before wrapping to avoid condensation.
