Chocolate Zucchini Loaf image

This is incredible for breakfast, snacking, or even as a dessert! While it is lovely at room temperature it becomes AMAZING when warmed or toasted!!

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 c all-purpose flour
1/4 c cocoa powder
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 c sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 c oil (any light-flavored vegetable - canola, safflower, etc.)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 medium banana
2 - 3 c zucchini, grated ** (see note listed below)
1 c nuts, chopped (pecan, walnut, etc.)
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Grease two 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder & powder soda, plus salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, combine sugar and eggs; beat well. Add oil, vanilla and the banana; beat until combined. Stir in Zucchini and add the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened. Finally, add in nuts and/or the chocolate chips/chunks.
  • 4. Pour mixture into the greased loaf pans and bake for 55-60 minutes. Cool in Pans for 10 min. Then finish on racks.
  • 5. ** I do not actually measure the grated zucchini. I simply use what I have on hand. The bread turns out terrific with any measurement in-between 2 and 3 cups.

This loaf was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little more moist. The flavor was good, but I would probably try a different recipe next time.
