Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup zucchini shredded
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Next add the egg, milk, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until they are barely combined. You don't want to overmix!
- Next, add the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips. Fold them gently into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake it for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
