Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Don’t overmix; we want it fudgy!
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it loosely with foil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once it’s all cooled down, slice it up and serve! This Double Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. Enjoy the rich chocolate flavor with the secret health benefit of zucchini. Trust me, every bite will leave you wanting more!
