Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups brown sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini

  • 1 cup cinnamon baking chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 9x5-inch loaf pans.

  2. Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a second large mixing bowl. Stir zucchini into the liquid ingredients and beat in flour mixture until batter is just combined; do not overbeat. Gently mix in cinnamon baking chips. Divide batter evenly between prepared loaf pans.

  3. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing loaves to finish cooling on wire racks.

Cook's Note:

This freezes well, so you can have it later in the year. Just wrap in plastic wrap (whole or sliced), then place in freezer plastic bag before freezing. Instead of 2 large loaves, you can bake 5 small foil loaf pans for giving as gifts.
