Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil or melted butter
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups zucchini peeled and shredded
3/4 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini loaf pan (5.75 x 3.25 x 2.25)
Peel and grate zucchini using the large holes of a box grater
In a bowl, combine sugar, eggs, oil, sour cream and vanilla. Stir to combine
Add in dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. Mix until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
Add in zucchini and chocolate chips and mix just until combined.
Put batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you like, add in 1 tsp of cinnamon into the chocolate zucchini bread with the dry ingredients.

You can substitute melted butter but I always use oil. I think it has a better texture and is more moist with oil.

Change up your chocolate chips by using white chocolate, milk chocolate or butterscotch chips.
