- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking powder (2 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt (3 grams)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon (2 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened cocoa powder (50 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (120 milliliters)
- 1 cup (240 ml) granulated sugar (200 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) brown sugar, packed (100 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract (10 milliliters)
- 2 cups (480 ml) grated zucchini (about 300 grams)
- 1 cup (240 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips (175 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease two 8×4 inch loaf pans and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cocoa powder.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the breads to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the breads from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Squeeze excess moisture from grated zucchini to avoid a soggy texture in the bread.
- Opt for dark cocoa powder for a more intense flavor profile.
- Try using different chocolate chip varieties like milk or white for a unique twist.
