A rich and moist double chocolate zucchini bread with crunchy walnuts, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. This easy recipe balances fudgy cocoa with fresh zucchini for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed dry)
  • ¾ cup (75 grams) chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped walnuts, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil after 30 minutes.
  9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. Drain zucchini thoroughly to prevent sogginess. Toast walnuts lightly for extra flavor. Use an oven thermometer to ensure correct baking temperature. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly.
