Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) All-purpose flour
- ½ cup (45g) Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 cup (200g) Granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) Packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) Baking soda
- ½ tsp (3g) Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) Neutral oil
- 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (230g) Shredded zucchini
- 1 cup (170g) Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (40g) Mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly with butter or oil, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and both sugars until no large cocoa clumps remain.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Stir the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients, then gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Use a spatula to fold the batter together until just combined; stop the moment no more streaks of white flour are visible.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula, and sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly across the surface.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack.
