Mmm!...Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread.
If you’ve never had zucchini bread, this is one to start with because you won’t believe there’s zucchini in it! And, if you already like zucchini bread, and if you like chocolate too, you’re gonna love this!
I used a recipe I found awhile back and tweaked a bit to make it my own. The double dose of chocolate from cocoa & chocolate chips makes this taste more like cake or brownies. It’s so delicious!
Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 + 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups finely shredded zucchini, (peeled-optional) gently pressed
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 or 9 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, honey, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa, mix well then combine with eggs and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle walnuts on top.(optional)
Bake the bread for 65 to 75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from the pan onto a rack.
Cool completely before slicing; store well wrapped and at room temperature.
Enjoy!...
