Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free option)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to avoid a watery batter.
- You can add a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a more decadent look.
- This bread freezes well. Slice and store in an airtight container.
