Everything is better with chocolate, especially zucchini! Fudgey and packed with chocolate, this bread is a crowd pleaser! Pack in kids lunches, freeze for later, or enjoy it all at once!
Ingredients:
-
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup cocoa powder
-
3/4 tsp baking soda
-
1/4 tsp baking powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
- 3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate (check out the note on choosing chocolate below!)
-
2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preparation:
- Re-arrange oven rack so it is in the lower third position, and preheat to 350°. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Place the shredded zucchini on paper towels to absorb some moisture. Press some sheets of paper towel on the top as well. Leave a bit of moisture in the zucchini!
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, instant coffee, and chocolate chunks together until combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, yogurt, sugar and vanilla together until completely combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and lightly whisk to combine. Fold in the zucchini, then pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (All ovens are different, so don’t be alarmed if your bread takes longer to cook)
- Allow bread to cool completely in the pan and set on a wire rack.
- Slice and serve when the bread is completely cooled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Adapted from www.sallysbakingaddiction.com/double-chocolate-zucchini-bread/
What Chocolate Should I Use?
Bean-to-Bar: Sourced from sustainable farms and made here in Sherwood Park, each origin of chocolate has a unique and distinct flavour. Check out our blog post about the chocolate making process!
Callets: Imported from France, this fine chocolate is a great option for baking.
