How to Make Chocolate Almond Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and lemon-colored.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup vegetable oil; beat until well combined.
  4. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  5. Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 cups grated zucchini.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Stir in 1 cup chopped almonds.
  10. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  11. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  12. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 20 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
