Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Fruits & Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Zucchini finely grated
- 1 cup Apple grated
- 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure the bread bakes evenly.
- Peel and finely chop the apple. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped apple with a splash of water and a touch of sugar. Cook over low heat, covered, for 7-8 minutes, or until softened. Mash the cooked apple and set aside.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Beat the sugar, oil, and yogurt together with an electric mixer on low speed until well combined. Add the applesauce and blend again.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and prevents clumping.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
- Fold in the grated zucchini, grated apple, and chocolate chips. Gently incorporate them into the batter using a spatula.
- Grease and flour a loaf pan. This prevents the bread from sticking and ensures a clean release.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for added visual appeal and a touch more sweetness.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out almost clean. A few moist crumbs are okay.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom of the bread from becoming soggy.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. This bread is delicious both warm and cold. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This quick bread is great for travel.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent the pan with foil and continue baking.
- You can bake this recipe as cupcakes/muffins. Check for doneness around 15-18 minutes.
- For extra crunch and flavor, add chopped nuts.
- If your zucchini or apple is juicy, squeeze out excess moisture before adding it to the batter.
- Use plant-based chocolate chips and milk alternatives for a dairy-free version.
- For a beautiful presentation, sprinkle a few apple slices and chocolate chips on top before baking.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough quick bread.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the bread is ready.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving to prevent it from crumbling.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover quick bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
