How to Bake Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Chocolate zucchini bread is a delicious way to sneak in some vegetables into your diet. Here's a recipe for how to bake it:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup vegetable oil - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 cup brown sugar - 3 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 cups shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini) - 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

7. Slice and serve the chocolate zucchini bread as desired. Enjoy!

Tip: For an even richer chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon or two of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
