Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed dry)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent a soggy bread.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
  • This bread is delicious served warm or at room temperature.
