Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (13.25 ounces)
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups finely shredded zucchini
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray two loaf pans with non-stick spray. For easier removal, optionally line the bottom of each pan with a small piece of wax paper.
  2. Coat Chocolate Chips: In a small bowl, measure 1 tablespoon of cake mix and toss it with the mini chocolate chips to coat them. This step helps prevent the chips from sinking to the bottom during baking. Set aside.
  3. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, combine the remaining chocolate cake mix, the finely shredded zucchini, whisked eggs, and the coated chocolate chips. Stir with a spoon; at first, the batter will seem dry, but as you mix, the zucchini will release moisture and the batter will loosen up.
  4. Fill Loaf Pans: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans and spread it out into an even layer. If desired, sprinkle a few extra mini chocolate chips on top for garnish.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the loaves for 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully removing the loaves from the pans.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve your delicious double chocolate zucchini bread immediately or store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Using freshly shredded zucchini is key to maintaining moisture in the bread.
  • Coating the chocolate chips with a bit of cake mix prevents sinking.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular chips if needed.
  • The bread can be frozen for up to 2 months; wrap tightly before freezing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread texture.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a dark or glass loaf pan.
