Ingredients
- 1. All purpose flour - 1 cup
- 2. Whole wheat flour - 1 1/4 cups
- 3. Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
- 4. Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
- 5. Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup (I used Hersheys unsweetened chocolate powder)
- 6. Cinnamon - 1 tsp ( I added 2 tsp because I love cinnamon)
- 7. Grated zucchini - 1.5 cups
- 8. Brown sugar - 3/4 cup
- 9. Honey - 1/4 cup
- 10. Oil - 1/4 cup
- 11. Vanilla yogurt - 3/4 cup (I used low fat)
- 12. Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
- 13. Egg whites - 2 (lightly beaten)
- 14. Walnuts - 1/2 cup (cut into little pieces)
- 15. Chocolate chips - 1/2 cup
Method
- STEP 1Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- STEP 2Mix the dry ingrdients (1 to 6) together.
- STEP 3Mix the wet ingredients (7 to 13) together.
- STEP 4Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- STEP 5Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips. You can also omit the chocolate chips but please donâÂÂt. Once they melt in the oven, they give such a yummy taste and awesome texture to the bread.
- STEP 6Pour the batter into a greased 9X5 inch loaf pan.
- STEP 7Let it bake for 45-50 minutes. (I checked mine after 35 minutes and kept an eye on the bread.) Check for doneness and remove the bread from the oven.
- STEP 8Let it cool on the pan for 10 minutes. After this time, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on the wire rack.
- STEP 9Once it is completely cooled, slice and eat or store it in the refrigerator.
- STEP 10Notes: This bread is not too sweet. That is the way I like it. But if you want it to be sweeter, increase the sugar or the honey. Entirely upto you.
- STEP 11Also I thought this cake tasted much better the next day after being refridgerated over night, left to reach room temp for 20mins and then warmed through in the microwave for 15 seconds.
