Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour all-purpose
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil or avocado, olive or canola
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 medium zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan. You can cut a piece of parchment paper to fit on the bottom of the pan after spraying it with non-stick spray to ensure your loaf does not stick.

  2. Whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sifted cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon each of baking soda and baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 3/4 cups of chocolate chips. Set aside

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1 medium grated zucchini. Lightly blot the zucchini before mixing it in.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and lightly whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. Spread the batter into your prepared pan. Sprinkled extra chocolate chips on top if desired. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Recipe Notes

  • Let cool fully for easier slicing.

  • Store covered at room temp for 2–3 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
