Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8.5-4.5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula, and top with dark chocolate chunks.
- Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness starting at 55 minutes. A toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy your extra chocolatey, fudgy double chocolate zucchini bread!
Notes
For extra moisture, avoid blotting the zucchini before adding it to the batter.
You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil if desired.
Feel free to add nuts or seeds for added texture.
