Equipment

  • bread machine
  • silicone spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 c melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp instant coffee expresso powder 

Add in after the first mix cycle on your bread machine

  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (equal to 2-3 normal sized zucchinis)

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the wet ingredients to your bread machine, then add in the dry ingredients. Reserving the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips for later. 
  • Next, Select the setting for non-yeasted breads on your bread machine. On my bread maker, it’s called the “cake” setting, but it may be called something like quick bread, sweet bread or sweet quick bread on yours. Just make sure it is the setting that does not require yeast.  
  • Then, hit the start button. 
  • Most bread machines give off a beep when they are ready for you to add in your 'mix ins' such as fruits, nuts, etc. but some of the older machines, do not. If your machine tells you when to add in your 'add in's', that is when you will add in the chocolate chips and shredded zucchini.
  • If your machine does not tell you when it is time to add in your extra ingredients, Add it in the first bread machine mixing cycle and before the second mixing (final mixing), This is when the machine "pauses" and the mixing paddle stops for several minutes between mixing cycles. Read your bread machine manual for more details.
  • TIP: Press a few extra chocolate chips into the top for a beautiful extra chocolate looking loaf.
  • Once the bread has finished baking, remove the bread pan from the machine, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Then, carefully turn your chocolate zucchini bread out on a pan or wire rack.
  • Let the loaf cool completely; then, slice. Store in an airtight container.
