Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips, reserving some chocolate chips for topping.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, testing for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Pat dry the grated zucchini to avoid a soggy texture. Fold ingredients gently to avoid tough bread. Tossing chocolate chips in flour helps keep them distributed.
