Ingredients
- 1 cup of grated zucchini (about one medium zucchini)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups of all-purpose flour
- ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra boost of chocolatey goodness.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice your Amazing Chocolate Zucchini Bread and enjoy it on its own or with a spread of your choice. This bread also makes a fantastic gift for friends or family who appreciate a sweet treat with a twist!
Happy baking!
