Best Chocolate Zucchini Bread
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×5-inch aluminum loaf pan.

  2. Melt the butter, then whisk in the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Use a spatula to mix in the flour, cocoa powder and zucchini until a thick smooth batter forms, mixing just until there are no longer streaks of dry ingredients. Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips, mixing gently a few times.

  4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Top with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips*.

  5. Bake 60 to 65 minutes until the top is set (a toothpick inserted should have only a few clinging crumbs, but it’s hard to tell with the chocolate chips since they can melt onto the toothpick!). Allow the bread to cool in the pan until it reaches room temperature and the chocolate chips start to firm up, about 2 to 3 hours. Then run a knife around the edge and invert the loaf onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. The bread can be stored up to 3 days at room temperature wrapped in aluminum foil or up to 1 week refrigerated tightly wrapped. You can also freeze for up to 3 months.
