Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, sour cream, oil, eggs and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula, until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the best texture, ensure your zucchini is grated finely and gently squeezed to remove excess water, but don't over-dry it. This balance keeps the bread moist.
- When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough loaf, especially with gluten-free flours.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter, it's ready. For a fudgier center, you can underbake by a minute or two, but ensure it's cooked through.
- Store leftover chocolate zucchini bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before serving. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
