Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack placed in the center of the oven. Prepare a loaf pan by spraying with baking spray and lining with parchment paper.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

If your zucchini has a lot of moisture, gently press between some paper towels to remove excess moisture. You don't need to squeeze it completely dry, just enough to make it less wet, if necessary.

Step 3

Mix zucchini, sugars, eggs, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl.

Step 4

Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate large bowl.

Step 5

Add the zucchini mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in most of the chocolate chips (I like to reserve 2 tablespoons of the chocolate chips to top the loaf). Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle top with remaining reserved chocolate chips.

Step 6

Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut with a serrated knife. Serve warm or at room temperature.
