For when you just can’t eat anymore raw zucchini. Throw some chocolate on it. Original recipe from here. I cut it in half to make it in one loaf pan and substituted olive oil for vegetable oil. I also forgot to microwave the chocolate and just mixed it in. Still came out delicious. I love this recipe because it doesn’t have any butter and duh, the zucchini. That means I can eat multiple pieces in one sitting, right?
Ingredients
2 oz bittersweet/semi-sweet chocolate, melted (over double boiler is best)
1 egg and 1 egg yolk
~1 cup white sugar
1 cup olive oil (I know this sounds weird but trust me it’s tastier than vegetable oil)
1 ¾ cups grated zucchini (from 1 very large or 2 medium zucchini)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour or Bob’s gluten free all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips (use dairy free if you’re DF)
What To Do
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease one 9x5 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, oil, grated zucchini, vanilla and melted chocolate; mix well. Stir in the flour baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans.
Bake in preheated oven for 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
SPRINKLE WITH SEA SALT. Trust me; it’s delicious.
