Super moist,so easy to make and loaded with chocolate chips with small zucchini pieces,There are almost more Chocolate Zucchini than bread in my recipe for the amazing Chocolate Zucchini Bread!!
Can be eaten for breakfast in one of the parks.
You know those recipes that kind of sneak up on you? Well, this was one of them
It all began on a rainy Sunday when the laundry had piled up and the dog was barking at literally nothing while I stood there staring at two pounds of zucchinis because I had bought them with good intentions although let’s be real I wasn’t about to make a salad.

So I did what any chocolate-loving and slightly stressed baker would do which was shred those bad boys then toss them into a bowl with way too much cocoa powder and the result was a ridiculously moist and double chocolate loaf that almost made me forget I still had socks to fold.
Honestly, if you’ve never added veggies to your dessert and felt weirdly proud of it then this is your moment.
Oh and just a heads up you shouldn’t be surprised if no one even notices the zucchini since my nephew ate quarter the loaf before I told him what was in it and his face was absolutely priceless.
Anyway, let’s get into it because this bread is rich and fudgy and just a little sneaky so you’re going to love it.
Ingredients :
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini no need to peel
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips plus extra for topping
How to Make Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9 x 5-inch baking pan.
Step 2
Second: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside. Then, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and combined.

Step 3
Now, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Don’t overmix. Add the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Then, pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top for extra stickiness.
Step 4
Now, bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean; it’s okay to have some crumbs or melted chocolate. Finally, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQ’S
Do I need to peel the zucchini before grating ?
No. The skin is thin and soft, and it blends right into the batter. Plus, it adds extra nutrients!
Should I squeeze the zucchini to remove water ?
Only if it’s extremely watery. A gentle squeeze is enough; you still want some moisture for a soft texture.
What type of chocolate chips work best ?
Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are ideal, but milk chocolate or even white chocolate chips work if preferred.
What if I don’t have brown sugar ?
You can use all white sugar, but brown sugar adds more moisture and flavor.
