This super easy zucchini bread is so moist and chocolaty that it's easy to forget zucchini is in it! My husband even loves it and he's never been a fan of zucchini!

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 ¾ cups white sugar

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

  • 2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two loaf pans.

  2. Combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder in a medium bowl and mix together. Set aside.

  3. Cream sugar, butter, oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, until mixed. Mix the dry ingredients slowly into the sugar mixture on medium speed until incorporated. Gently add chocolate chips, zucchini, and walnuts with a spoon. Pour batter equally into the prepared loaf pans.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into each loaf comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Don't overcook.
