How to Make Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the applesauce.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
