Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) grated zucchini, drained well
  • ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk or plain yogurt
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • ½ cup (90g) espresso chips (or finely chopped dark chocolate with a pinch of instant espresso powder)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper if desired.
  2. Grate 1 ½ cups (about 1 medium) zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add buttermilk (or yogurt) and drained zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined.
  6. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until no flour patches remain; do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the chocolate chips and espresso chips gently.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Drain zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Mix batter just until combined to keep bread tender. Tent with foil after 40 minutes if browning too fast. Espresso chips can be substituted with chopped dark chocolate and instant espresso powder.
