Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
My Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is full of rich, indulgent chocolate-y flavors in each bite and has a moist, tender, soft crumb. It's simple to prepare, you don't even need to squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini in this recipe! It bakes perfectly every single time and a great way to bake with zucchini!

Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. espresso powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1/4 heaping cup sour cream, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla
- 2 zucchini ~2 cups shredded
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, plus more for decorating on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease/flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment. (Pro tip: if using the greasing and flour method, try dusting the pan with cocoa powder instead of plain flour!)
- Grate the zucchini on the small holes on a box grater. (No need to peel the zucchini or blot out the excess moisture, we want that moisture in the loaf!) set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add dry ingredients.
- Whisk and set aside.
- In another bowl, add the sugar, oil, sour cream, eggs and vanilla.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Add wet ingredients into the dry and mix until mostly combined.
- Then add the zucchini and chocolate.
- Mix until combined but be careful not to over mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Top with more chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for ~60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool, slice, enjoy! (Really good with flaky sea salt on top, or spread some butter or peanut butter on a slice!)
