FUDGY CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs
½ cup plain yogurt (I used Greek yogurt)
½ cup vegetable or canola oil
1½ cups white whole wheat flour
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup chocolate chips + 2 tablespoons
1½ cups shredded fresh zucchini

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter and flour a loaf pan (or use cooking spray).

Combine eggs, yogurt, and oil in a mixing bowl and blend well. Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder and blend. Batter will be thick.

Add ¼ cup chocolate chips and zucchini and stir until well combined.

Pour batter into pan. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chocolate chips on top of loaf. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Set pan on a wire rack and let rest for 15 minutes. Slide a knife around the edges to loosen loaf from pan. Carefully turn out loaf onto wire rack and cool.
