Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder in a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Place the pan in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325°F.
  • Bake for 80 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Best stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Great with a dollop of vanilla yogurt.
