Description

I’m kicking off zucchini season with a week of zucchini bread recipes. First up, Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread.

Ingredients

  • 1-⅔ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ⅓ cups Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Fine Salt
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Honey Or Agave Nectar
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil Or Canola Oil
  • 2 cups Shredded Zucchini
  • 1-¼ cup Chocolate Chips, Divided Use

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare an 8×4-inch loaf pan with a parchment sling (this is important so you don’t get melted chocolate all over your hands and mar the appearance of the finished loaf when you remove it from the pan).

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

In a separate large bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, sugar, honey, oil and zucchini, stirring until evenly combined. Stir in reserved dry ingredients (including the chocolate chips, but reserve 1/4 cup for the top) and pour into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle reserved 1/4 cup chocolate chips evenly over batter.

Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove pan from oven. Cool for 10-15 minutes before lifting bread out of the loaf pan using the parchment sling. Cool completely before serving. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container. Serve at room temperature.

Thanks Cheryl – I should have started testing recipes a few days ago because I’m fighting the setting sun to get a decent photo every day. Lol.

My sister gave me the most enormous zucchini I’ve ever seen, so I was busy baking over the weekend. I wanted a large (9.25 x 5.25″) loaf, so I did 1.5x the recipe. It was too much batter, so I got a large loaf and a mini-loaf. I think that the original recipe would work in a large loaf pan instead of an 8 x 4″. At any rate, the parchment sling worked great and the bread was gorgeous! I couldn’t taste the zucchini, but there was a nice hint of honey through the delicious dark chocolate. Thanks for sharing!
