Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
  • 0.5 cup (120ml) avocado oil
  • 0.75 cup (150g) coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups (225g) finely grated zucchini
  • 0.75 cup (130g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the fine holes of a box grater until you have 1.5 cups.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract for about 60 seconds until glossy.
  4. Stir in the grated zucchini using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
  5. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet mixture.
  6. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
