Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa or unsweetened cocoa

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, don’t overmix. Stir in the shredded zucchini until just combined. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean, you might have some melted chocolate chips on the toothpick and that is fine. You just don’t want a lot of gooey batter.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm. Cut into slices and serve.
