1/4 cup oil (canola, vegetable, or coconut)
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (tightly packed and lightly blotted)
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
3/4 to 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×5 or 8×4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
-
In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
-
Stir in eggs and vanilla, then fold in grated zucchini.
-
Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
-
Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips, reserving the rest for topping.
-
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
-
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil around the 30-minute mark.
-
Let cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
