Description

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a decadent twist on classic zucchini bread, featuring rich cocoa and chocolate chips for a deliciously moist treat.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs

½ cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and sugar together until well combined. Add in the vanilla extract.
  4. Stir the shredded zucchini into the wet mixture, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs).
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. For added crunch, consider adding ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  2. For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  3. To make it dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips and an egg substitute like flax eggs.
  4. For a low-sugar version, reduce the sugar or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
  5. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
  6. Wrap the bread in plastic wrap and foil to freeze for up to 2 months.
