Make this incredibly moist chocolate zucchini bread using a simple one-bowl method. This recipe delivers rich, fudgy chocolate flavor while secretly sneaking in summer squash, making it a perfect snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for double chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour one 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Add the granulated sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
  4. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the sour cream until the batter is smooth.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key to preventing a soggy loaf.
  • For an extra rich, fudgy texture, use sour cream. This ingredient helps keep the chocolate zucchini bread moist for days.
  • If you want a bakery style chocolate zucchini bread, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
