A rich, fudgy, and unbelievably moist double chocolate zucchini bread with melty chocolate chunks, perfect for quick baking and sneaking in veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g / 6.7 oz)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g / 1.8 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g / 7 oz)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed (110g / 3.9 oz)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml / ½ cup) or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks (175g / 6.2 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture gently, making sure it’s evenly dispersed but not overmixed.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, folding carefully with a spatula until just combined.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  8. Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks over the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not skip squeezing the zucchini dry to avoid soggy bread. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. Tent with foil if the bread browns too quickly. Use quality chocolate chunks like Ghirardelli or Valrhona for best flavor.
