Hello everyone!
As promised here is the Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe with Yoghurt and Olive Oil you voted you wanted to see next!
This is another recipe I made to use up this enormous zucchini I got from my grandma’s garden. Maybe you remember my Zucchini Corn Muffins from the last post?
Very moist and with indulgend chocolate bits throughout the bread this is every chocolate lovers fantasy! Nobody would ever think that there are three (!!) cups of zucchini inside!
I did also freeze some slices of the cake and liked it still but it is best eaten fresh.

Author: Kathrin @ ginger, lemon & spice
Recipe type: Cake
Serves: 20 slices
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 270 g (1 cup) sugar
- 190 g (1½ cups) flour
- 25 g (1/3 cup) cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 80 g (1/2 cup) olive oil
- 120 g (1/2 cup) plain yoghurt (I used 3,5 % fat)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 440 g (3 cups) zucchini (finely grated and water pressed out)
- 130 g (1 cup) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter and flour a big loaf tin (or two smaller ones).
- In a large bowl mix eggs and sugar for about 5 minutes until pale, fluffy and very creamy.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt at once and mix on slow speed until incorporated.
- Then pour in olive oil, yoghurt and vanilla and mix through.
- Fold in zucchini and chocolate.
- Pour your mixture into your loaf tin(s) and bake for 65 minutes. Check if the chocolate bread is ready by inserting a wooden skewer. If there is still wet dough on the skewer leave it in the oven for longer. (mine needed 20 minutes more when baked in one loaf tin)

This looks so delicious! Definitely need a way to use up zucchini in the summer. Pinned to save!

Yum! I’m such a chocolate lover so this is calling my name right now, lol!

The only thing better than chocolate zucchini bread is DOUBLE chocolate zucchini bread! Looks fabulous!
Love the chocolate and zucchini combo because it ensures the bread is always moist!
Zucchini bread with chocolate?!? I’m in!! I love adding the veggies to the treat without anyone noticing!!
Zucchini and Bread are one of my favorite combinations. Thinking of what jam I am going to use on this bread.

Thank you Joanne!
You had me at chocolate 🙂
yes, it’s a magic word kinda like ‘abracadabra’ – isn’t it? 😀
This looks so good! I could go for a slice or two with afternoon coffee today!
You got the coffee, I got the bread – let’s meet somewhere! 😉
Love how moist this bread looks and not to mention SUPER chocolatey! I’ve never made a bread with zucchini in it, I just may have to try your recipe 🙂
Yes please do! It is very easy and the zucchini (plus the yoghurt) keep the bread this moist. And you don’t taste it at all!! You don’t see any green in the bread really but if you want to make sure nobody notices the zucchini you can just peal the green rind off and it just disappears into the cake.
Wow, this bread looks so moist and chocolatey. I could eat some right now.
Oh yes it is!! Thanks for stopping by Janette!
