Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, lightly coat the inside surfaces of two 9x5-inch loaf pans with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray.
3
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients such as flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined.
4
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the sugar and eggs until they are smooth and well blended.
5
Add a small amount of oil and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, then continue mixing until they are fully incorporated.
6
Introduce the zucchini into the sugar mixture and blend until it's evenly distributed.
7
Mix in the dry ingredients just until they form a moist batter.
8
Add some chopped nuts and chocolate chips to the mixture, stirring gently until they're evenly distributed.
9
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pans, making sure to fill them evenly.
10
Place the loaves in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, which should take around 55 to 60 minutes.
11
Once done, remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
12
Then, transfer the loaves to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
