Description

Discover how to make a moist and decadent One Bowl Chocolate Zucchini Bread with this easy recipe. Perfect for chocolate lovers and a great way to use up garden zucchinis.

Ingredients

– 2 cups (473 ml) Granulated Sugar, or Pure Cane Organic Sugar
– 3 Large Eggs, room temperature
– 1 cup (237 ml) Vegetable Oil
– 1 tbsp (15 ml) Vanilla Extract
– 3 cups (360 g) All-Purpose Flour
– 1/2 cup (48 g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
– 1 tsp (5 ml) Salt
– 1 tsp (5 ml) Baking Powder
– 1 tsp (5 ml) Baking Soda
– 2 tsp (10 ml) Ground Cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp (1 ml) Ground Nutmeg
– 2 cups (about 340 g) Grated Zucchini (do not drain excess liquid), approximately 3 medium zucchinis
– 12 oz (340 g) Dark Chocolate Chips, divided (8 oz or 227 g for the bread mixture, remaining 4 oz or 113 g for topping)

Instructions

Position the oven rack on the second tier and set the oven to preheat at 350°F.
Thoroughly coat two loaf pans with a baking spray that contains flour or apply vegetable shortening, then lightly dust with flour. Put these aside. Consider using parchment paper as a sling for easy removal of the loaves once baked.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract using a whisk.
Incorporate the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the mixture, stirring until everything is well integrated.
Use a spoon to fold in the grated zucchini and 8 ounces of chocolate chips.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the loaves cool in their pans for about 5-10 minutes before taking them out and placing them on cooling racks to cool down fully.

Notes

Ensure the grated zucchini is not too watery to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a more decadent flavor.
Avoid overmixing the batter after adding dry ingredients to prevent a tough texture.
