Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This decadent zucchini bread is my go-to bread every summer.  This is the main reason I grow zucchini! You can freeze this bread and enjoy it all winter long.
















1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini
2/3 cup chocolate chips

Pre-heat oven to 350.  Lightly spray and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment. 

Whisk the dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt). Set aside.

Whisk the sugar and eggs together until pale and smooth. Beat in the butter and vanilla, then fold in the zucchini. 

Blend the dry ingredients into the wet, in three stages.  Blending just until incorporated after each addition, do not over beat.

Fold in the chocolate chips.  Spread into the prepared pan. Bake for about 50 minutes, until toothpick inserted near the center comes out dry.  Melted chocolate is o.k.!

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing.
