The Best Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe

If your kids are anything like mine, getting them to eat their veggies isn't a very easy task. But what kid doesn't like chocolate?

I've really enjoyed experimenting with different loaf recipes over the years, but this one takes the cake! (Not too sure if that qualifies as a pun)

My picky toddler is a super fan of my Chocolate Zucchini Bread, my husband raves about it, and I'm now ready to share it with you, too!

2 large eggs

Mixing spoon

Knife

Grater

Directions

---

Preheat oven to 350˚

1. Grate zucchini. You do not need to peel the zucchini beforehand, simply cut off the ends with a knife and grate.

2. Gently blot grated zucchini with a paper towel (or tea towel) to remove excess water.

3. Grease your loaf pan

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This will be your flour mixture.

5. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until there are no more chunks. This will be your oil mixture.

6. Gently fold the flour mixture into the oil mixture.

7. Once the mixtures are combined, stir in the grated zucchini.

8. Fold in chocolate chips.

9. Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 45 minutes.

Notes: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months!
