How To Make double-chocolatey zucchini nut bread

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray your loaf pan with no-stick spray. Grate your zucchini (I cut mine into several wedges first) and set it aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set Aside.
  • Step 3
    In seperate bowl beat the oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended. Mix in the zucchini and add the flour mixture gradually. Next fold-in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Fill loaf pan 3/4 full and bake about 55 minutes to an hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove bread from pan and cool completely. I always refrigerate this bread.
