Time 1h30m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup peanut oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups packed zucchini, grated, about 4 medium zucchini (see note*)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons flour
2 cups chopped nuts, to taste (highly desirable) (optional)

Steps:

  • Note*: grate zucchini and squeeze in paper towels to extract as much juice as possible before measuring. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, apple sauce, and vanilla extract, and mix until well blended.
  • In a small saucepan, melt 2 Tbsp butter, add 6 Tbsp cocoa powder, blend together until smooth, and set aside to cool.
  • If desired, peel the zucchini (we don't), grate it, and squeeze out and discard as much juice as you can before measuring.
  • Add zucchini and cooled cocoa mixture to the large mixing bowl, and blend well.
  • Sift together the 2 cups flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Add dry ingredients to the batter, and stir only enough to blend in all the dry ingredients; do not over-mix.
  • In another small bowl, coat the chocolate chips with the 2 Tsp flour.
  • This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir the flour-coated chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into 2 generously greased and floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pans, and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes, remove from pans, and continue to cool on a wire rack.

### Tips * **Use ripe zucchini:** Ripe zucchini has a sweeter flavor and is more moist, which will result in a more flavorful and moist bread. * **Grate the zucchini finely:** This will help the zucchini to distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too watery. * **Don't overmix the batter:** Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. * **Bake the bread in a loaf pan:** This will help the bread to bake evenly. * **Let the bread cool completely before slicing:** This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling. ### Conclusion Chocolate zucchini bread is a delicious and moist bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. By following the tips above, you can make a delicious chocolate zucchini bread that your family and friends will love.
