Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two small loaf pans by greasing them or lining with parchment paper.
- Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs with granulated and brown sugars until creamy. Mix in the grated zucchini, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil or melted butter.
- Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined—lumps are okay!
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
