Because just one type of chocolate isn’t enough, I give you this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread! Chocolate on chocolate? Yes please!
Ohhhhhh zucchini look how far we come….. from when I was little and had to drown the zucchini in that powdered parmesan cheese just to be able to choke it down without gagging (side note: what is that big shaker tub of “parmesan cheese” even made of??? Because I have a feeling it isn’t actually parmesan cheese, no offense Kraft). And here we are now, years later, and I’m voluntarily adding zucchini into my baked goods…. what a time to be alive! Trust me though, even your picky eaters will love this veggie studded bread because 1. they won’t even notice the zucchini and 2. Double. Chocolate. Sometimes one type of chocolate just isn’t enough and you gotta go for the double! I personally like using a dark chocolate bar but if you want a little extra sweet then go for a milk chocolate twist! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert (with a scoop of ice cream), you’re going to love!
To make this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread you will need:
- one one gluten free flour
- cocoa powder
- baking powder
- baking soda
- sea salt
- eggs
- bananas
- greek yogurt
- coconut sugar
- vanilla
- zucchini
- dark chocolate bar
A few notes:
1. If you don’t want/need to use gluten free flour, all purpose flour should work as a great substitute. .
2. If you don’t want to use a chocolate bar just substitute 1/2 – 1 cup of chocolate chips.
