Rich, double chocolate, zucchini bread, with fresh zucchini from the garden! Making zucchini bread is my favorite way to use up all of this flourishing summer vegetable! When you have too many zucchini from the garden why not make some delicious zucchini bread.

Chocolate just makes everything better. Yes I do love my classic zucchini bread, but double chocolate anything makes my heart smile! This bread may as well be referred to as chocolate zucchini cake because thatâ€™s just how it tastes! Your kids will never know there is zucchini in here, shh I won’t tell them.

This recipe, although filled with chocolate, is notably healthier than your average double chocolate zucchini bread.

Here Is What You Need For The Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread:

Unsweetened apple sauce
Shredded zucchini
Dark Chocolate chips (semi-sweet will work as well)
Cinnamon
All purpose flour
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Swerve granulated sugar
Salt
Baking Powder
Baking Soda
1 Whole Egg
Liquid Egg Whites
Vanilla Extract

If you do not have applesauce you can swap in fat free greek yogurt, or fat free sour cream.

Here Is How You Make This Delicious Bread:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and cooking spray
In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, baking soda) and set aside
In a large mixing bowl combine the wet ingredients (apple sauce, shredded zucchini, granulated sugar, whole egg, liquid egg whites, and vanilla extract)
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and combine
Using a rubber spatula, pour the batter into the baking tin
Top the loaf with the chocolate chips
Bake for 45-55 minutes.
