Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini about 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans.
  • You can also substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
  • For a sweeter touch, drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled bread.
