Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
- Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate candies to the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the vanilla extract, melted butter, applesauce, and grated zucchini and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in a denser bread.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Grate the zucchini finely so it blends well into the bread, and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid making the bread too wet.
- Use room temperature ingredients (egg, butter, etc.) to help them combine more smoothly.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Mix until the ingredients are just combined to ensure a tender crumb.
- Fold in the chocolate candies gently to evenly distribute them without crushing them.
- Preheat your oven before mixing the ingredients to ensure the bread bakes evenly.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Chocolate chip zucchini bread is the perfect blend of healthy and tasty. With the moisture from the zucchini and the sweetness from the chocolate and brown sugar, this bread will become a favorite in your household. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or save it for a quick breakfast or snack. Happy baking!
