The Perfect Summer Bake

I’m about to convince you to turn on your oven during summer to bake this sultry dark beauty. And boy, is it worth it!

Summer is the season of zucchini. Your garden and your neighbor’s too, if we’re being honest, are overflowing with sweet, ripe, zucchini. If you’ve already had it with your omelet, fritters, pasta, and lasagna, that means it’s time to have it in your chocolate bread. Simple logic.

Get your veggies intake with chocolate! I know this might sound wrong on so many levels, but bear with me! The most amazing thing about this bread is that it’s half veggies, yet it only tastes like chocolate with an aromatic hint of spices. The zucchini is here to make this bread moist and tender. Even the pickiest eaters won’t detect it!

Ridiculously easy bake: Seriously. Mix your dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix your wet ingredients in another. Gently fold your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients. Pop it in the oven, and congratulations! You’ve got yourself the most delectable Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread out there!

It’s chocolate on chocolate! Admit it, the statement alone is tantalizing! First, you have your melted chocolate chips engulfed in silky and moist chocolatey bread. This is what dreams are made of! This double chocolate beauty will sure bewitch you and excite all your senses!

1. A Cup of Coffee: I adore the mornings after I have baked this bread. There’s nothing more satisfying than sipping my dark morning coffee with a slice of this sweet bread. The rich chocolate flavor with the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg just make my day! If coffee isn’t your cup of tea, don’t fret. This irresistiblly chocolatey zucchini bread makes the perfect afternoon snack with a cup of tea!
2. Peanut butter: Yumm! Peanut butter and zucchini bread are what I’d call a match made in heaven! The salty nuttiness of peanut butter balances the sweet richness of chocolate for the ultimate experience of pleasure 😉
3. A scoop of Vanilla ice cream: It’s ice cream people, need I say more?
4. On its own: What can I say? It’s just THAT good of a treat! Whenever I bake it, I keep snitching a slice whenever I pass by it sitting on my countertop. LOL.

One Amazing Base, Many Fantastic Options

My Double Chocolate Zucchini bread is great on its own, but don’t be afraid to experiment with flavors and put your own touches on this super-easy recipe! Here are some suggestions:

If you’re in the mood for chocolate, and nothing but chocolate, we’ve got you covered. You can omit the spices mix and add half a teaspoon of espresso powder instead. Don’t worry. You won’t actually taste the coffee, but it will give a certain depth to the chocolate’s flavor. I’ve actually learned this trick from my grandma and I use it in most of my chocolate baked goods.

If the double chocolate zucchini bread is already too much for you, swap half a cup of chocolate chips for chopped walnuts or pecans. You can’t go wrong with roasted crunchy walnuts drowning in melted moist chocolate! Dried cranberries or raisins might surprise you in this one.

The bottom line is to be creative and try the combinations that strike your fantasy.

The How-to for a Great Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

1. To cut on prep time, you can use a food precessor to grate your zucchini.
2. There’s no need to peel the zucchini. I understand the urge to remove everything that is green from your dessert, but trust me. It’s completely unnecessary. The zucchini will completely melt into the bread, and no one would be able to tell it was there from the first place!
3. Use two packed cups of zucchini. Remember, the moisture of this bread primarily comes from the zucchini. So make sure that your cups are heaped.
4. Mix gently! I cannot repeat how important this tip is. Make sure that your moves are soft and gentle. Sometimes, mixing roughly will cause it to fall in the middle.
5. DO NOT OVERMIX! That is the rule of thumb when baking anything with wheat flour. Overmixing the batter will form gluten, which in turns hardens the mixture. No one wants a rough stiff chocolate bread!
6. Wait COMPLETELY for it it cool down before slicing it. It’s hard, I know. But good things happen to those who wait. If you slice it while it’s still warm, you might risk ruining its structure and texture. Be patient and enjoy this decadent delight at the right time.
