FUDGY CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD

FUDGY CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 large eggs, room temperature

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or canola or melted coconut oil)

1/3 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, lightly patted dry

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, oil, sour cream, both sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add zucchini and 3/4 cup chocolate chips, folding gently until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over batter.
Bake 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Let cool 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice once cooled.
