Instructions
Creating this delightful bread is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a bowl, mix the grated zucchini, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. This mixture forms the wet base of your bread.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture will give the bread its structure and chocolatey flavor.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently. These will melt into gooey pockets of chocolate throughout the bread.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool before slicing. This ensures it holds its shape and makes for easier serving.
