Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups zucchini, grated
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your delicious chocolate zucchini bread, or store it in an airtight container for up to three days.
