A rich, fudgy chocolate zucchini bread with a perfect balance of chocolate and fresh zucchini moisture, featuring semi-sweet chocolate chips for gooey sweetness. This easy recipe uses simple pantry staples and yields a tender, moist loaf that feels like a decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) grated zucchini, excess water squeezed out
  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (45 g) melted dark chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, breaking up any lumps.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the shredded zucchini and melted dark chocolate (if using). Then fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Mix batter just until combined to keep bread tender. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts. Variations include adding nuts, cinnamon, or substituting gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients.
