 Classic zucchini bread gets an upgrade when you swirl in chocolate and chocolate chips!

Is your garden done producing vegetables for the year? I feel like mine just started but I’ve heard a lot of people say theirs is done. I have a ton of tomatoes but I’m waiting on them to turn red – they’re all still green. I had six that were red that mysteriously disappeared a couple weeks ago. We have both a groundhog and a (super aggressive) chipmunk that run around the deck so I would guess one of them got to them. I grew and ate my first squash this year so I was pretty excited about that. I was especially excited that no one/nothing stole it. I didn’t plant any zucchini but my dad brought me some from his garden and I knew I wanted to make zucchini bread.

I’ve done zucchini bread several ways over the years (like this delicious Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread) but I thought a swirl of chocolate with mini chocolate chips would be a good idea. I like to add chocolate to just about any dessert. It was an excellent idea because this bread turned out really good. I added applesauce to convince myself that since it has both zucchini and applesauce in it, it’s totally healthy (fruit and veggies AND chocolate!). I have a way of talking myself into things. It’s really moist and I liked it best after a few seconds in the microwave to warm it up. My daughter helped me eat a bit of it but if we’re being honest, I ate the majority of the loaf by myself.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce and sugar.
  • Add in the eggs and mix.
  • Add in the shredded zucchini, water, and vanilla. Stir together.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend together.
  • Pour half of the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  • To the remaining batter, add in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips and stir to fully incorporate.
  • Pour the chocolate batter on top of the plain batter.
  • Insert a butter knife and gently swirl to make a marbled pattern. Don't overmix or you'll end up with all chocolate bread.

    Yum! This looks delicious. Our zucchini are done, but I may have to run to the store to get some for this!
