Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Loaf

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Take zucchini and place it in a dry dishtowel. Give it a squeeze or two to remove some (but not all) of the water. Set the zucchini aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, powder and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter, oil and vanilla extract until combined. Use a large spatula to stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the shredded zucchini until it is evenly dispersed and then stir in the chocolate chunks. Spoon the batter into the greased loaf pan.

Bake loaf for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool for 15 minutes before gently turning it out on a cooling rack or sheet of parchment. Let it cool completely before slicing.
