My mom used to make a chocolate zucchini bread when I was growing up. And while I’d never turn it down, I always secretly wanted brownies instead because they were so much fudgier. So when I set out to make a healthier version of this childhood recipe, I decided to amp up the chocolate to be truly worthy of any chocoholic (and it’s mom approved!). The zucchini bread itself is chocolate, and then there’s chocolate chips mixed in. Then it’s topped with a chocolate glaze as well for triple chocolate enjoyment. All in all, it’s a chocolate zucchini bread that I’d trade a brownie for… and that’s saying a lot!
For this recipe, the first thing you do is to mix together the dry ingredients.
Next stir in the grated zucchini until all the pieces are coated with the flour mixture.
And finally the wet ingredients are mixed in along with the chocolate chips. I like to use the mini chocolate chips from Enjoy Life, but the morsel size works as well.
Once the batter is in the pans, I like to sprinkle a few more chocolate chips over the top for decoration.
After they’ve baked, allow them to cool for 15 minutes or so in the pan before removing them to cool completely.
Once they’re completely cooled, it’s time to glaze the loaves…
… slice and enjoy! 4.5 from 6 reviews
