Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread – The Chocolate Lover’s Bread!

With one bowl, no mixer, and less than 10 minutes to throw it all together, this Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread is so incredibly moist inside, that it will fall apart while eating it.  Sounds too good to be true?  It’s not!  You may even want to serve it as a cake instead of bread. 

Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread…

This recipe for Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread is adapted from our Death by Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, and we decided to turn it into a quick bread. Loaded with zucchini, unsweetened cocoa, and chocolate chips, and topped with chocolate frosting and mini chocolate chips, this triple chocolate zucchini bread is the best we have ever made!

Best of all, no one will ever notice there are 2 cups of zucchini in this bread.  And, because it’s loaded with zucchini – this recipe happens to be the BEST zucchini bread out there!  It’s truly SO YUMMY! And everyone who takes their first bite will go bonkers!  Trust me on this one!

How To Make Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread

No mixer is required for the batter. All you need is a good whisk to blend the ingredients in one mixing bowl. Our full recipe card is located below. But, here are 5 easy steps to making this quick bread, and they are:

1. First, whisk the sugar with the eggs until creamy smooth.
2. Then whisk in the other ingredients until well incorporated
3. Next, fold in the chocolate chips. The bread batter will be thin.
4. Pour into your 9 x 5-inch bread pan and bake.
5. To make the chocolate ganache, follow the directions in our recipe card below.

Notes & Recipe Tips

1.  Do we need to grate the zucchini? Grating zucchini takes too long and is tedious work.  Rather than grating them manually, I found an easier way and used my mini food processor to turn the zucchini into finely minced pieces.

2.  Also, 2 medium-sized zucchini gave me the 2 cups I needed for this recipe.

3.  No need to squeeze out the water from the zucchini.  For this recipe, you will need the excess liquid in the zucchini to make this bread super moist in texture. 

4.  Store zucchini bread in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days. 

5. Best to keep the bread in the refrigerator, to keep it fresh longer, up to one week, if it lasts that long. 

A Delicious Chocolate Bread

It’s the perfect bread (or cake/dessert) to serve at a dinner party or potluck, and a healthier alternative to chocolate cake! It’s decadent, delicious, and loaded with chocolate. What could be better?! You’ll have to try this recipe!
