Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (can substitute with melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped toasted walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Fold the shredded zucchini into the wet mixture gently, then slowly add the dry ingredients. Fold until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and toasted walnuts evenly.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top lightly.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Toast walnuts lightly to enhance flavor. Use room temperature eggs and oil for better batter consistency. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Can be made gluten-free by substituting half the flour with almond flour, or nut-free by omitting walnuts.
