- 1 Cup Flour
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- ½ Tsp Salt
- 2 Eggs at room temperature
- ¼ Cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil (or coconut oil)
- ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ Cups Zucchini (shredded)
- 1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips (divided)
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat 2 room temperature eggs. Add 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil (or coconut oil), 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add Zucchini and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded zucchini and 3/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Top with Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips on top of the batter for an extra chocolatey finish.
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve your Decadent Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for a deliciously rich and moist treat.
