Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted plus more to grease the pan
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter and set aside.
  2. Remove zucchini seeds, cut it in large chucks and use a food processor with shredding disc to great it. You can use a cheese grater if you don't have a food processor.
  3. Wrap the shredded zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze out the water. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and brown sugar until combined.
  6. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Don't over mix it.
  7. Add the shredded zucchini and ¾ cups of the chocolate chips (save the rest to put on top), stir with a spatula until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining of chocolate chips over the top of the bread.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean, you might have some melted chocolate chips on the toothpick and that is o.k.
  10. Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool for about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack. Cut into slices and serve with some tea, coffee, milk or by itself. Enjoy!
