Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat sugar, zucchini, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Beat in melted chocolate. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared loaf pans.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool to room temperature before slicing.
