OK, it's possible that I'm over the top with 3 posts in one weekend. But my chocolate zucchini bread turned out so well that I have to share the recipe. And it's healthy too coming once again from Cooking Light! The old zucchini bread recipes had 1 cup of oil and the new ones have applesauce instead of all that oil. Plus this one has chocolate, so what's not to love!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil (I use Canola oil)
2 large eggs
1 cup applesauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup semisweet choclate chips
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350.
Place first 3 ingredients in a large bowl, beat with a mixer at low speed until well-blended. Stir in applesauce.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (through salt), stirring 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 loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack and remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Enjoy!
