Scale

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 2 large eggs

- 1/4 cup greek yogurt or sour cream
- 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 and grease an 8.5-4.5-inch loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper.
- 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 together the eggs, vegetable oil, greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and well mixed.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini until it's evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Add dark chocolate chunks on top if desired.
- Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness starting at 55 minutes using a toothpick.
- Let the zucchini bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy your extra chocolatey, fudgy double chocolate zucchini bread.
Notes
Make sure to check for doneness with a toothpick.
Letting the bread cool completely helps in slicing it easily.
For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
