Ingredients

  • 1 Cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1/4 Cup canola oil
  • 1/2 Cup sugar
  • 1/4 Cup brown sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 Cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 Cups zucchini grated and strained
  • 1/2 Cup mini chocolate chips
Topping:
  • 2 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a large 9" bread pan and set aside. Mix topping ingredients and set aside.
  2. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together sugars, oil, and eggs for about 1-2 minutes until slightly fluffy. Add vanilla and sour cream.
  4. Fold in the grated zucchini. Add the remaining dry flour ingredients. Stir to combine and lastly fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour into prepared 9" bread pan. Sprinkle the topping on the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes. I set a time for 45 minutes and mine was done at that time. Oven temperatures vary, so just make sure a toothpick entered in the center comes clean.
  6. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes and remove from pan. Delicious served a little warm, even with a little butter on top. :)
