Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8.5-by-4.5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Add the shredded zucchini and mix until well combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with dark chocolate chunks.
- Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness starting at 55 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment to lift the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy your deliciously rich Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread!
Notes
For a healthier option, substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil.
You can use sour cream in place of greek yogurt, if desired.
Adjust the baking time according to your oven; keep an eye on it after the 55-minute mark.
