Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe

March 01, 2014

We recently made this bread and it was delicious. My kids had no idea that it was chuck full of vegetables. It made the perfect after-school snack or would be a fun treat to put in a lunch box for school. Even if you don't have a freezer full of shredded zucchini as I do, you can just buy some zucchini at the store. :)

-1 1/2 cups sugar
-1 cup unsweetened applesauce (can substitute 1 cup canola oil)
-3 eggs
-3 teaspoons vanilla extract
-2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1 1/2 cups all-purpose and 1 cup whole wheat flour)
-1/2 cup baking cocoa
-1 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-2-3 cups shredded zucchini
-1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but they taste amazing!)

In a large bowl, beat the sugar, applesauce, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and baking powder; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended....
