Last summer my friend Ted brought me an abundance of zucchini. After putting a lot in the freezer - some mixed with other vegetables for Ratatouille, some prepared to add to other dishes, still other shredded and pre-measured to make out of season zucchini breads, soups, etc. - I baked breads: plain, pineapple with cranberries...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 c shredded zucchini
1 c sugar
1/3 c canola oil
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cider vinegar
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 1/2 c flour
nuts (optional)

Steps:

1. Oil and dust loaf pan with flour. Preheat oven 350 degrees
2. Mix shredded zucchini, sugar, oil, and vinegar. Add dry ingredients and mix well. *Add nuts if you are using.
3. Pour mixture into pan and bake approximately 50 minutes. Check with toothpick and if it comes out clean , it is finished. You may need to cook a few more minutes if it isn't. * Another time I doubled the recipe, cutting the sugar a bit and baked in a bundt cake pan. It turned out quite well too.

Tips:

Use ripe zucchini: Zucchini that is too young will have a higher water content, which can make your bread soggy. Ripe zucchini will be firm to the touch and have a deep green color.
Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini to blend into the bread better and prevent it from becoming too watery.
Use a good quality cocoa powder: The cocoa powder is what gives the bread its chocolate flavor, so it's important to use a good quality powder. Look for a cocoa powder that is dark and has a rich flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too flat.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This vegan chocolate zucchini bread is a delicious and healthy way to use up your summer zucchini. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of zucchini. It's also easy to make, and it can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So next time you have some zucchini, give this recipe a try!
