Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • cup plain or vanilla yogurt Greek or not
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 2. Shred the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. Zucchini should still be damp, but not dripping wet.

  • 4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • 5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined, leaving a few lumps. Use a silicone spatula to fold in the zucchini, making sure that it’s fully blended throughout the batter. Fold in the chocolate chips the same way.
  • 6. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top (¼ - ½ cup).
  • 7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 8.Cool for 15-20 minutes or until you are able to handle the pan. Slide the bread out onto a wire rack and continue to cool until it reaches room temperature.
  • 9. Slice and serve. Bread can be kept at room temperature on the counter for a few days.
