Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed dry
  • ½ cup (90g) dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts, toasted lightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk sugar and vegetable oil until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
