The Best Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add the oil and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix! Gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
