Decadent Chocolate Zucchini Bread: Fudgy

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. Grate the zucchini using the fine holes of a box grater and gently press with a paper towel to remove excess water.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spatula until the batter is smooth and glossy.
5. Fold in the grated zucchini and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
