Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Watkins pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups Grated zucchini
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well-combined using a hand mixer or whisk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay, but no wet batter).
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices on their own, or with a light spread of butter for added indulgence. Enjoy!
