A moist and delicious zucchini bread packed with double chocolate chips, perfect for sneaking veggies into a sweet treat. This easy homemade recipe balances rich cocoa flavor with fresh zucchini moisture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) brewed coffee or strong espresso, cooled (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups (about 2 medium) zucchini, grated and gently squeezed dry
  • ¾ cup (135g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips

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 finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. Set aside 1 ½ cups.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee until smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and both types of chocolate chips gently to keep air in the batter.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Drain zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy bread. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Use good quality cocoa powder for best flavor. Coffee enhances chocolate depth but can be substituted with water or milk. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Cool completely before slicing.
