Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan (See Note 1). I also lined it with a piece of parchment paper to enable easy removal of the loaf from the pan.
  2. Grate the zucchini and keep it aside. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, leaveners, salt and spice.
  3. In another medium size bowl beat together the oil, applesauce, both the sugars, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the grated zucchini with the wet ingredients.
  5. To this add the flour mixture and beat it until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake it between 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Mine was done in about 58 minutes.
  7. Transfer the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Remove the bread from the pan after 10 minutes and let it cool completely before you can slice it. Leaving the bread to cool overnight is preferable.
My Notes:
  1. I used a 9x5 inch pan and felt that the bread did not rise as expected because the recipe was too small for that size pan. That's why I have suggested to use an 8x4 pan instead. I'm not sure whether it's the pan size or the use of whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose flour.
  2. If you are a spice fan, go ahead and add about 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cinnamon as well to make this chocolate zucchini bread more aromatic.
