Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c grated zucchini
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c cocoa, unsweetened
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c sugar
1 large egg
6 Tbsp melted butter
1/4 tsp instant coffee granules
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking spray.
  • 2. Grate zucchini.
  • 3. I like to leave the grated zucchini in a colander so it can drain while mixing the other ingredients. Or you can just lightly press the extra liquid before adding the zucchini.
  • 4. Whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk until there the ingredients are well combined.
  • 5. In a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until smooth. Add the melted butter, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  • 6. Add the shredded zucchini into the sugar-egg mixture.
  • 7. Then add the flour to the zucchini mixture in small additions, stirring to combine after each addition.
  • 8. Stir until well blended. Fold in all but a small handful of chocolate chips.
  • 9. Pour batter into greased pan. Sprinkle with a handful of chocolate chips.
  • 10. Place into the oven. Bake for 50 minutes at 350°F or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and easily.
  • 11. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove from the loaf pans and let cool completely on a rack.
