Warm and fudgy chocolate chip zucchini bread

Warm and fudgy chocolate chip zucchini bread is a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate with the nutritional benefits of zucchini. This recipe is perfect for those who want to sneak some veggies into their sweet treats without sacrificing taste. The use of both all-purpose and whole-grain wheat flour provides a balanced texture, while the applesauce adds moisture and reduces the need for additional fats. Whether for breakfast, dessert, or a snack, this zucchini bread is sure to become a favorite in your household.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
1/2 cup brown sugar
70g
1 tsp baking soda
4.60g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
2/3 cup chocolate candies
110g
1 egg
54g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1 cup applesauce
250g
1/2 zucchini
100g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, whole-grain wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg well. Add the vanilla extract, melted butter, and applesauce, and mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to a dense bread.
5. Add Zucchini and Chocolate Candies: Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate candies into the batter until evenly distributed.
6. Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few fudgy crumbs.
8. Cool: Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Slice and enjoy your warm and fudgy chocolate chip zucchini bread! It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.

Tips:

- Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent the bread from becoming too wet.

- You can substitute chocolate candies with chocolate chips or chunks if preferred.

- For a healthier option, consider using coconut oil in place of butter.

- Add some nuts or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.

- Store the zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

This warm and fudgy chocolate chip zucchini bread is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients from the zucchini and whole-grain wheat flour. The chocolate candies give it a delightful sweetness and fudgy texture, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion. Serve it warm with a glass of milk, or enjoy it on its own—either way, it’s sure to be a hit!
