Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread


Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread: 

Double chocolate zucchini bread is a healthier alternative recipe. It contains vegetables, greek yogurt, and only a 1/2 cup of sugar for the whole loaf! This loaf is soft, filled with chocolate, and is easy to make. Here is the recipe: 

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. instant coffee powder (or 1/4 tsp. espresso powder)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 
Directions

    1. Adjust oven rack to the lower third position, preheat to 350°F. Use an 8.5" by 4.5" loaf pan, grease with non-stick spray or vegetable oil. 

    2. Shred your zucchini and set aside for later. Shredding now will allow some of the moisture to leave.

    3. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, instant coffee, and chocolate chips. 

    4. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, oil, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla together until completely combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and lightly whisk until combined. 

    5. Use a spatula and fold in the shredded zucchini. Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan. 

    6. Bake for 45-55 minutes until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool for about 20 minutes and enjoy :) This can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
