Chocolate Zucchini Bread




Looking to squeeze some veggies into your kids tummies?
Try this delicious chocolate zucchini bread!
It's a hit with our kids!  It doesn't have a whole lot of sugar, and being that it's chocolate, they'll easily eat it ;)  Loaded with zucchini and super moist!

Here's how you make it:

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1/3 cup of cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 TBSP chia seeds (optional)
TO MAKE:
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.  Grease 2 loaf pans and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar.  Add in olive oil and yogurt and mix well.
  3. Add in cocoa and mix with a spatula.  Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder.  Stir until mixed and then stir into the egg mixture gradually.
  5. Add in grated zucchini and stir just until it is coated with the batter
  6. Stir in  1/4 cup of the chocolate chips.  Don't over mix
  7. Split the batter into the two pans.  Top each with the rest of the chocolate chips and the chia seeds and bake for 65 minutes
  8. Let cool completely until slicing.

Let me know if you try this one. Share if you know a mom that needs help with getting veggies into their bellies!
