Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, add the sugars, oil, and vanilla, and use an electric mixer to beat until fully combined.

Next, mix in the dry ingredients. The batter will be very dry and crumbly.

Lastly, use a rubber spatula to fold in the grated zucchini and chopped chocolate until fully combined and evenly wet.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then top with more chopped chocolate.

Bake the bread for 10 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 350 degrees F and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 🥒
After grating zucchini, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent a soggy loaf and ensure the bread bakes evenly with the perfect fudgy texture.
Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫
Whisk the dutch process cocoa powder with a small amount of hot water before adding to the batter to activate its flavor compounds and deepen the chocolate richness throughout the bread.
Don't Overmix After Combining 🥄
Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined to avoid overdeveloping gluten, which would make the bread tough; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and desirable.
Use Room Temperature Oil 🌡️
Ensure your neutral oil is at room temperature when mixing to help emulsify properly with the sugars and create a uniformly moist crumb without dense pockets.
Test with a Toothpick Early 🔍
Start checking doneness at 45 minutes rather than waiting the full 50-60 minutes, as the zucchini's moisture content varies; the toothpick should have a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
