Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread (1 Loaf)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the oil and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and sour cream. Beat by hand until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Using a silicone spatula, fold gently until just combined—stop as soon as you see no more streaks of flour.
5. Fold in the grated zucchini and ¾ cup of chocolate chips. Do not over-mix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips over the surface.
7. Bake for 55–65 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
