CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD

Chocolate zucchini bread that's rich, moist, and with a tender crumb. Made with cocoa powder for extra chocolate intensity.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Dessert     Snack     Baking     Bread     Chocolate     Quick Bread     Zucchini

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups grated zucchini (from about a pound and a half of zucchini)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (use natural unsweetened cocoa, NOT Dutch processed)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup unsalted butter (12 Tbsp or 1 1/2 sticks), melted
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven, prepare loaf pans: Preheat oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with baking spray or butter.
  • Beat sugar and eggs, add melted butter, instant coffee granules, almond extract: In a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until smooth, about a minute. You can do this with an electric mixer on medium speed, or by hand with a wooden spoon. (I'm lazy and use a mixer but it's easy enough to do by hand.) Add the melted butter, instant coffee granules, and almond extract and beat until smooth.
  • Add zucchini to the egg mixture: Mix the shredded zucchini into the sugar egg mixture. Add the flour to the zucchini mixture in 3 additions, stirring to combine after each addition.
  • Cool: Remove to a rack. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the edges to separate the bread from the pan. Remove from the loaf pans and let cool completely on a rack. Note that if you try to slice the chocolate zucchini bread before it has completely cooled, it will be rather crumbly. It's also easiest to slice with a bread knife.

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c grated zucchini
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c cocoa, unsweetened
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking spray.
  • 2. Grate zucchini.
  • 3. I like to leave the grated zucchini in a colander so it can drain while mixing the other ingredients. Or you can just lightly press the extra liquid before adding the zucchini.
  • 4. Whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk until there the ingredients are well combined.
  • 5. In a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until smooth. Add the melted butter, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  • 6. Add the shredded zucchini into the sugar-egg mixture.
  • 7. Then add the flour to the zucchini mixture in small additions, stirring to combine after each addition.
  • 8. Stir until well blended. Fold in all but a small handful of chocolate chips.
  • 9. Pour batter into greased pan. Sprinkle with a handful of chocolate chips.
  • 10. Place into the oven. Bake for 50 minutes at 350°F or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and easily.
  • 11. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove from the loaf pans and let cool completely on a rack.

Tips:

  • Prep your zucchini beforehand: Grate your zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture using a cheesecloth or paper towels. This will prevent your bread from becoming too soggy.
  • Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate chips or cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your bread. Opt for high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to set properly.

Conclusion:

This easy and delicious zucchini bread gets a chocolaty upgrade with the addition of chocolate chips and cocoa powder. It's a moist, flavorful bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The zucchini adds a subtle sweetness and moisture to the bread, while the chocolate chips and cocoa powder give it a rich, chocolaty flavor. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
