Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Zucchini (shredded, not peeled)
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips gently using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (not wet).
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
