Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
- 2 large eggs , at room temperature
- ¼ cup vegetable oil , canola, or melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup sour cream , or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar , packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups finely shredded zucchini , packed
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips , divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
- Dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix 2 eggs, 1/4 cup oil, 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add shredded zucchini and chocolate chips. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Fold in 1 1/2 cups zucchini and 3/4 cup chocolate chips until just combined.
- Pour batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top. Bake 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (melted chocolate chips are ok). You want the bread to be lightly browned. If it is browning too fast, cover lightly with foil.
- Remove from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let cool in the pan 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm. Cut into slices and serve.
