Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:14 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease and flour a bread pan or make a parchment paper sling. Set aside.
00:18 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, and salt.
00:50 In a large measuring cup or medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, instant coffee (if using) and very hot water until smooth and well-combined.
01:42 Whisk melted butter into the cocoa mixture, then add eggs and vanilla and whisk until well-combined.
02:25 Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and gently fold together until about 50% combined.
03:03 Add zucchini and chocolate chips and continue to gently fold together until mixture is uniformly combined. Don’t over-mix or bread could be dense/rubbery.
04:19 Spread batter evenly into prepared bread pan.
04:45 Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 85-90 minutes (see note) and until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (make sure you’re not skewering a melted chocolate chip and re-try if you do!).
05:38 Allow bread to cool completely (or at least mostly) in pan before removing, slicing and serving. I love chocolate zucchini bread while it’s still warm but the slices are more prone to falling apart when cut warm.
Notes
Blotting zucchini
To blot the zucchini, spread it evenly over several sheets of paper towels then take several more folded paper towels and press firmly until most of the excess water has been absorbed and the shredded zucchini begins to stick to the towels.
Bread pan
My bread pan (linked above in the equipment section) is slightly smaller than a classic 9x5 and is light in color. For a darker 9x5 pan start checking the bread at 80 minutes. Note that a glass pan will take longer (sometimes significantly longer) to bake.

Congratulations on the birth of Ella Grace. She's beautiful. I don't follow you on other social media platforms. ❤
Hi Sam, Looked delicious, it is baking now! My garden zucchini was frozen, there was quite a bit of moisture, lost track of the number of paper towels. I might have squeezed it too dry, 60 minutes left to know for sure. Is there a recommendation on the moisture when using frozen zucchini ? Post note, the re pie turned out perfect. I would make this again.
❤
Hey Sam! Would natural cocoa powder work in this recipe?
Looks delicious 😋 has ur baby girl got here yet. Cant wait to see her
She did! I did make a post on my website, but also linked to it here. :)

Hi Sam how are you I hope you are doing well I’m Laura I’m going to make this
So what's the difference between zucchini bread and zucchini cake? Like texture and taste wise?
A bread is going to be more dense and less sweet and it won't have icing. :)
@@SugarSpunRun ok thanks, I've been wanting to do something chocolatey for a b-day cake but it's going to have a really rich raspberry/cinnamon filling. I'll probably make both just to see which one goes together better but I'll try the bread first
I actually use my salad spinner to remove the water from the zucchini. I’m so jealous you can bake while pregnant. Everything I usually baked fell flat during my pregnancies.
I'll have to try a salad spinner. Great idea! :)
@@SugarSpunRun it helps to line it with a cheese cloth if your spinner has large openings.
What do Luke and Rhett think?
