Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (fine sea or table)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large room temperature eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or canola or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream (or substitute with greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 1/2 cups tightly packed finely grated zucchini
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (split for use)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Loaf Pan

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

    Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal after baking.

  2. Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

    This ensures that the leavening agent is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

  3. Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the eggs, oil, sour cream, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

    Use an electric mixer to mix until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

    This forms the base for your batter.

  4. Step 4: Incorporate the Dry Ingredients and Add Fillings

    Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually, taking care not to overmix, which can cause the bread to be tough.

    Gently fold in the grated zucchini and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips until everything is just combined.

  5. Step 5: Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

    Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top for added texture and flavor.

    Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven, and bake for 55 to 65 minutes.

    Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean apart from some melted chocolate chips.

    The bread should be lightly browned—if it starts browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil.

  6. Step 6: Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and set it on a wire cooling rack.

    Allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing the bread.

    Let the bread cool on the wire rack until it is slightly warm.

    Slice and serve to enjoy your delicious chocolate chip zucchini bread!

Notes

  • You can add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
