Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • ¼ cup oil
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour*
  • 1 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, divided

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf tin.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, oil, brown sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time until combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in zucchini and ½ cup dark chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the batter to the loaf tin and spread out using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Top with remaining 2 tablespoon chocolate chips. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the bread has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Slice to serve.
