This moist and cake-like chocolate chip zucchini bread is the perfect way to make sure you are eating your vegetables but still enjoying a sweet treat. After searching for a chocolate zucchini bread recipe that didn't require a lot of oil, I came up with this winner. My four-year-old son, Andrew, really likes it, and it's great to be able to enjoy something that's healthy and chocolate at the same time. -Elizabeth Alcorn, Fort Mitchell, KY Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 large eggs |
1 cup applesauce |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa |
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini (about 1 medium) |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at low speed until well blended. Stir in applesauce.
3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (through salt), stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, beating just until moist. Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips. Spoon batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
