How To Make double-chocolatey zucchini nut bread
-
Step 1Preheat 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 2In a large bowl mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set Aside.
-
Step 3In 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.
