Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 loaf pans (8 ½ x 4 1½) with nonstick cooking spray.Microwave butter in a large bowl for one minute, or until melted. Stir sugars into butter until completely smooth. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir until well combined. The batter will be very thick.
- Stir in shredded zucchini and 1 ½ cups chocolate chips.Divide the batter equally between the two prepared loaf pans. Evenly spread the batter in the pans. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips on top of the loaves before baking.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean (except for maybe a little melted chocolate from the chocolate chips). Allow loaf loaves to cool in pans on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, then turn loaves out onto the rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To freeze, completely cover the loaf in plastic wrap twice. Wrap again in aluminum foil or place the wrapped loaf in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
