Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

3/4 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment.

Mix dry: In one bowl, whisk flours, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Mix wet: In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla. Stir in yogurt, then fold in grated zucchini.

Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Bake: Pour batter into the pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
