This zucchini bread is UNBELIEVABLE! Chocolate cake meets zucchini bread and it is certainly a match made in bakers heaven. I have multiple bags of fresh grated zucchini bread in the freezer and they worked perfect in this bread. And, for a bonus, most of the fat is replaced by unsweetened applesauce, so you won't have to worry about having a little bit bigger slice. The kids and I are hosting a big playdate tomorrow. Ten lovely ladies and their kiddos are coming to eat a late breakfast and play. It has taken me a long time to meet people here, but better late than never!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp light butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 heaping tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
With a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Blend in the eggs and applesauce until a smooth liquid has formed. Add the applesauce, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and flour. Once it's all formed a thick batter, stir in the zucchini. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into a prepared loaf pan and sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until the middle is done. Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
