If you've read my other posts you'll know I suddenly have a lot of zucchini. So I decided to make some zucchini bread and freeze it. This is my favorite recipe thus far.
You will need:
1.5 cups shredded raw zucchini
1 cup flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and set aside.
Grate the zucchini and set aside. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. In a the bowl of an electric mixer beat the oil, sugars, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Fold in the grated zucchini. Add to the flour mixture. Stir until combined. Then fold in chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the bread has risen and a toothpick comes out clean, about 55 to 65 mins. Place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes.
This recipe can be frozen as well as eaten on the spot!
