Why Make This Recipe

Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of chocolate with the moisture of zucchini. It’s a perfect way to sneak in some vegetables while indulging your sweet tooth. This bread is not only delicious but also easy to make. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast or a tasty snack, Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a great choice.

How to Make Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

2½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus more for sprinkling)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray two 8×4” loaf pans with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the zucchini.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be fairly thick—that’s ok. Don’t overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans and use a spatula to smooth the top. Sprinkle with more chocolate chips.
Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

How to Serve Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Chocolate Zucchini Bread can be served warm or at room temperature. Slice it and enjoy as is, or spread a little butter or cream cheese on top for extra flavor. It makes a great addition to breakfast, dessert, or any snack time.

How to Store Chocolate Zucchini Bread

To store your Chocolate Zucchini Bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Keep it at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the bread. Just make sure it is wrapped well, and it can last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator when you’re ready to enjoy it again.

Tips to Make Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Make sure to dry the shredded zucchini with a paper towel. This will help prevent the bread from becoming too soggy.
Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
Don’t skip the chocolate chips on top; they add a delightful finish to the bread.

Variation

You can make this recipe healthier by substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Another option is to use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet for a richer flavor.

FAQs

Can I use frozen zucchini for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen zucchini. Just make sure to thaw it and drain any excess moisture before adding it to the batter.

How can I tell when the bread is done baking?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it has batter on it, continue baking for a few more minutes.

Can I make this bread in advance?
Yes, you can bake the bread in advance and store it. It often tastes even better the next day once the flavors have melded together.
