1 cup all-purpose flour
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set
aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, add the eggs, melted butter, oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Stir until
smooth. You might have a few small brown sugar clumps and that is fine.
4.Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, don’t over mix. Stir in the shredded zucchini until
just combined. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of
the bread. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the
bread comes out mostly clean, you might have some melted chocolate chips on the toothpick
and that is fine. You just don’t want a lot of gooey batter.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for
15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let
the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm. Cut into slices and serve.
Note - if you use coconut oil, make sure it is melted and slightly cooled and use an equal amount to
the butter. You can also substitute the eggs for 1/2 cup of apple sauce.
The bread will keep on the counter, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 4 days. This bread also
freezes well, to freeze, cool the bread completely and wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum
foil. Will freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost before slicing.
