CHOCOLATE APPLESAUCE BREAD



chocolate applesauce bread image

I got this from another recipe site, so I don't know the original source. It is nice and moist and has a good chocolately flavor. The original recipe said to put it in 2 1-lb. loaf pans, but they were so full that the middle was still gooey when the outside was done, so I'm suggesting 3 pans and a slightly shorter baking time.

Zucchini-Applesauce Chocolate-Chip Loaf image

Spelt flour, zucchini, applesauce, and chocolate chips may seem like a crazy combination, but you're going to love them together in this moist and delicious update on the classic zucchini bread.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield Makes 4 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup spelt flour, such as Bob's Red Mill
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 cups grated zucchini (from 1 large zucchini)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat four 3-by-5 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Line each with parchment, leaving 2 inches of overhang on long sides. Spray parchment.
  • Whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, applesauce, sugar, zucchini, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate.
  • Divide batter evenly among prepared pans, filling each three-quarters full (about 1 1/2 cups a pan). Bake until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let loaves cool completely on wire racks before removing from pans. Loaves can be stored at room temperature up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe banana: A ripe banana will add sweetness and moisture to the bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container: This will help to keep the bread fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate applesauce bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and hint of apple, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet and chocolatey, give this recipe a try!
