Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 6-cup or 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom and two long sides with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, place grated zucchini and add oil, eggs, sugars, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until combined.
- Sprinkle cinnamon (if using), baking soda, and baking powder over the surface of the batter and mix until combined, followed by 10 extra stirs for thorough mixing.
- Sift cocoa powder over the batter and mix until fully combined.
- Add flour and mix until incorporated. Reserve 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and add the remaining to the mixture, stirring to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips and raw sugar.
Baking
- Bake for 1 hour, then check for doneness. If not set, continue baking for up to 10 to 20 minutes more.
- Let it cool completely in the pan for best results, preferably overnight.
Serving
- Carefully remove from the pan and slice to serve.
Storage
- Keeps for up to one week in the fridge. Best served cold to maintain its fudgy texture.
- Store in the pan with the top uncovered to keep it crunchy.
Notes
If the pan is too small, consider making muffins with the excess batter. Using a sheet pan underneath while baking can help catch any overflow.
