I’ll admit—this isn’t an entirely new recipe. I was simply experimenting with ways to use up all the zucchinis my neighbor kindly shared with me.
So, I took my go-to chocolate zucchini muffin recipe and decided to bake it in a loaf pan instead. And oh, my. gosh. The result? Incredibly tender, rich, chocolatey, perfectly moist, and just the right amount of sweet, it's similar to the chocolate mousse tart. I honestly couldn’t believe how good it turned out!

Recipe tips
- Grate the zucchini using the coarse side of a box grater.
- Use Hershey’s 100% cocoa powder (not the unsweetened kind) for that deep, rich chocolate flavor.
- Bring the eggs to room temperature by letting them sit out for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Do not squeeze the zucchini after grating; the natural moisture keeps the bread extra soft and moist.
- You can substitute plain yogurt for sour cream, though the texture may be slightly less soft than the original.
