DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD



Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread image

This is one of those recipes I tried for something different, and it became more popular with my family than the original version of zucchini bread I was making. It is moist and loaded with chocolate flavor, packing two kinds of chocolate for maximum chocolate enjoyment: unsweetened cocoa powder and semi sweet chocolate chips,...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggs
1/3 c honey
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 c baking cocoa or dutch-process cocoa
1 2/3 c all purpose flour
2 c shredded, unpeeled zucchini (gently pressed between layers of a clean tea towel to get rid of excess moisture)
1 chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F; spray an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray .
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, honey, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • 3. Sift in the salt, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, and flour, stir until well combined.
  • 4. Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan.
  • 5. Bake the bread for 65 to 75 minutes, until the loaf tests done (a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean, there maybe a tiny bit of chocolate on the toothpick from the melted chips, that is ok).
  • 6. Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack. Cool completely before slicing; store in an air tight container.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD



DOUBLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD image

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (NOT dutch process)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup oil
2 large eggs, at room temp
1/2 cup buttermilk, also at room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups zucchini, unpeeled and shredded
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (I like to leave some fairly good sized pieces for oozy chocolate)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Butter and flour 2 loaf pans. Whisk the flour with the cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves in a medium size bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a medium bowl with a mixer on med high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. While you're mixing, drizzle in the oil, then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir the vanilla into the buttermilk. Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. (Like this--flour, buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, flour) Scrape the sides of the bowl when needed. Fold in the zucchini and chocolate. Divide batter into the 2 pans. Bake until tester comes out clean, about 55 minutes. (be careful, the tester may look chocolatey from the chocolate in the bread--don't overbake) Cool in pans on rack before removing and slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Use fresh, tender zucchini for the best results. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has tough skin.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to incorporate into the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan with a non-stick coating: This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This double chocolate zucchini bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and zucchini makes for a moist and flavorful bread that is sure to please everyone. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try!
