Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipes

Chocolate Zucchini Bread – zucchini? What zucchini? Can’t taste it, can’t see it. All I see is the fudgiest, moistest, most decadent chocolate bread you will ever have. Full stop, period!

Probably initially born as a way to use up an abundance of zucchini when they’re in season, dolled up to entice little people (and big people who are as fussy about greens as little people).

Because zucchini is the secret ingredient that makes this the fudgiest, richest, most insanely moist chocolate bread you will ever have in your entire life. And you cannot taste zucchini in it at all!!

When you cut into it and see the glistening, moist inside with drippy pockets of chocolate, it’s truly hard to believe there’sthree whole zucchinisin this.

Flavour to it (iethe zucchini, but no normal human would guess that) but in terms of integrity of the crumb, rise etc., you can almost double the quantity of zucchini without compromising the recipe!!

Factor of little pockets of melty chocolate when I cut into it. For convenience, you can absolutely use chocolate chips instead, or in fact skip the chocolate all together!

Skinny Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Usually when I cook with grated zucchini, like Crispy Zucchini Fritters, I salt the zucchini to draw out excess moisture followed by grabbing handfuls to squeeze out the excess liquid.

With this recipe, there is no need to do the salting step – just grate and squeeze. Get out what you can – you don’t need superhuman strength – because theresidual liquid in the zucchini makes this chocolatezucchini bread super moist!

Frankly, all I see is an outrageous chocolatey looking cake with drippy molten bits of chocolate.Any nutritional benefit from the zucchini is a freebie bonus!

Just make this because you want to indulge in the most amazing chocolate bread you will ever make. Because I promise you, I have made plenty of chocolate breads in my lifetime and this is by far the most moist, and most chocolatey, and as crazy at it sounds, it’s because of the zucchini.

But if it makes youfeel better to cling onto the concept of nutritional value as a basis on which you can justify making it for afternoon tea today, or to entice your “healthy” friends into having a slice, who am I to stop you? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

4. Chocolate -eating or cooking chocolate will work just fine here, as long as its semi-sweetened or sweet. Do not use unsweetened! I used Lindt dark cooking chocolate in the video and photos. It holds up slightly better during baking if there's any poking up above the surface - which usually there is not. So it doesn't really matter!

5. Squeezing zucchini - Don't need to go overboard squeezing out excess liquid, just get out what you can. The remaining moisture in the zucchini is what makes the bread so moist!

It was bound to happen sometime. It struck. That fierce, unrelenting craving for chocolate. Not just any chocolate, mind you. Deep, dark chocolate, the kind that you can get lost in, warm from the oven, oozing and wilting in your hands because you were too impatient to allow it to cool, leaving streaks of melty wonderfulness for you to lick once the crumbs disappeared.

So I’ve done it. I made the deepest, darkest chocolate zucchini bread I could, the zucchini part being my attempt to keep it at least a little healthy. Sort of. Undoubtedly, it keeps the loaf moist.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Waiting for the loaf of Double Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread to rise in the oven, I felt like a kid on Christmas eve, anticipating the moment when the buzz of the timer announces that morning has arrived. The thing is, you don’t need the timer. The scent of chocolate in the kitchen will draw everyone in to investigate: “What are you baking?” “Is it done?” “Zucchini???”

Yes, zucchini. Wrapped up in a dark chocolate box with a satin chocolate bow. I hope you like it. I made it myself.

This is one of my favorite quick breads to make when zucchini is in season! Chocolate lovers will appreciate the double dose of chocolate from the cocoa in the batter to the generous helping of chocolate chips.

Shredded zucchini is the key to adding moisture to this loaf. But sometimes, zucchini might be too wet. When this happens, press the zucchini between some paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Use the best quality cocoa powder you can get your hands on. I recommend Dutch process cocoa powder such as E. Guittard Cocoa Rouge Cocoa Powder.

The same goes for the chocolate chips! Use the best chocolate you can find – I like semi-sweet chocolate chips here, but if you are partial to dark chocolate flavors, go for bittersweet or dark chocolate!

When monster chocolate cravings strike, feed it a slice (or two!) of Double Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread! Moist, fudgy, and chock full of chocolate chips!

Can I make this in a 9×5 inch loaf pan? Yes, absolutely. Just keep an eye on it when baking — it may take less time to bake since it won’t be as tall a loaf.

Do I need to squeeze the zucchini? In a pinch for time, I’ve been known to skip this step, but when I notice that the zucchini is especially liquidy, I do take the time to lightly press the shredded squash between some clean paper towels to remove any excess moisture. If you can, I do recommend that you take the time to do so.

Can this recipe be doubled? Yes, absolutely, and you can use the slider on the recipe under “Servings” to adjust the ingredient quantities. The zucchini bread does disappear quickly!

What kind of oil should I use? I love baking this with the best quality extra-virgin olive oil I can find (such as Cobram Estates). I also like LouAna Liquid Coconut Oil. Canola oil can also be used in this recipe.
