Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups grated)
2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, mix eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth; fold in the grated zucchini.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed—avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
