Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ok, if the recipe says, "Double Chocolate" then I'm in deep trouble! Double chocolate just translates into double the amount of times you revisit the pan to cut another piece.  I have to thank my friend Shay for sharing this recipe. And all I have to say is, welcome to visiting the treadmill more after getting a hold of this treat! They should just call it, "Double My Waist!"


Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

2 c. grated zucchini
4 c. flour
½ c. cocoa
1 ½ c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
1 ½ c. oil
3 eggs
1 ½ c. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter 2 (8x4) loaf pans.

Grate zucchini.

In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda and powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl combine zucchini, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla.

Stir zucchini mixture into the flour mixture, just until blended. Mix in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes.

Cool on rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.
