Chocolate Zucchini Bread


  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To make this delicious bread, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Each ingredient plays a crucial role in ensuring your Chocolate Zucchini Bread turns out moist, flavorful, and irresistible.


Instructions

Creating this delightful bread is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix the grated zucchini, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. This mixture forms the wet base of your bread.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture will give the bread its structure and chocolatey flavor.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently. These will melt into gooey pockets of chocolate throughout the bread.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool before slicing. This ensures it holds its shape and makes for easier serving.
