Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread

You guys, I have tons of zucchini to use up from my garden. One of my favorite ways to use it up is to mix it into muffins or make this bread. The recipe came from a food blog I follow, but I did some slight tweaking to it and it tastes like super moist Costco muffins with the bonus of zucchini to make it healthy, right?!

Now I told you the pictures were not going to blog worthy perfect, but the recipe is legit. So let's just jump right in shall we. I promise you will want to make it soon. If you have kiddos who struggle with veggies, they won't even know the zucchini is in there - you can hardly tell unless if you do some serious looking for the green flakes!




Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
6 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
3 cups finely grated zucchini
1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two of your bread pans (8" or 9")with butter and flour, or I coat them with shortening and flour. Mix together your dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, and brown sugar in mixing bowl or stand mixer. Add in your wet ingredients: vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and zucchini. There is no need to drain your zucchini, the water content helps make it super moist. Leave it as is. In a smaller mixing bowl mix together the chocolate chips with the tablespoon of flour so that your chocolate chips won't sink to the bottom of the pan, they will float and dot the bread. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pour evenly into your prepared pans. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes. To tell if they are done, insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, their perfect.

Now you will be tempted to get that bread out of the pan right away, if you can, wait! Let it cool, and then serve. It's delicious, I promise!
