Chocolate Peanut Butter Zucchini Bread
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups zucchini, grated
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 4 tbsp. cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 6 tbsp. chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup honey
- 4 tbsp. peanut butter
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a loaf tin lined with baking paper.
- Grate the zucchini and place it into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze the zucchini over the sink to remove most of the water, then transfer into a bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, baking soda and salt. Add the zucchini and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg, olive oil and honey together. Fold this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and combine with a spatula.
- Transfer the batter into the loaf tin and drizzle with peanut butter.
- Place the tin into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the tin. Then remove the loaf from the tin and set aside on a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing.
