A wonderful way to use the extra bounty of summer, and make a tasty treat. You can adjust the recipe to suit your family's tastes, or create your own variations. For an optional topping use any, all or a combination of the following: equal parts brown sugar, chopped nuts and mini chocolate chips. Sprinkle tops of muffins just prior to baking.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Triple Chocolate Zucchini Muffins image

Moist and hearty muffins packed with protein and other goodness. The zucchini makes these nice and moist without changing the flavor. There are lots of variations you can make. The rolled oats add chewiness and are a good source of protein and fiber, but you can replace with any kind of flour. I chose to use honey and brown sugar instead of refined white sugar. My protein powder was quite sweet, so these were as sweet as brownies. You could also use regular sized chocolate chips, but I like how the mini ones distribute the chocolate flavor more.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI LOAF CAKE



Chocolate Zucchini Loaf Cake image

This simple, one-bowl loaf cake is a sweet way to make the most of zucchini season. Chocolate cake batter is flecked with shreds of raw zucchini and studded with bittersweet chocolate chips for a summertime cake that's fit for either breakfast or dessert. While some recipes call for squeezing the excess water out of the shredded zucchini, this loaf cake takes full advantage of the summer vegetable: The zucchini is taken directly from the grater to the bowl for additional moisture. The resulting cake strikes the perfect balance; it's rich and fudgy, but still maintains a tender crumb. The cake will keep on the counter for 4 to 5 days, loosely covered, and only gets better with age.

Time 3h30m

Yield 1 loaf (about 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray or neutral oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups/330 grams packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup/180 milliliters neutral oil (such as vegetable or safflower)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
2 cups/280 grams lightly packed coarsely grated zucchini (from about 1 large or 2 small zucchini)
1 3/4 cups/223 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/63 grams unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/173 grams bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (such as turbinado or Demerara)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the long sides to create a sling.
  • In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, oil, vanilla extract and salt until smooth and glossy, about 30 seconds. Add the grated zucchini and mix with a rubber spatula until incorporated.
  • Using a fine-mesh strainer, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda directly into the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula just until combined and no pockets of unincorporated flour remain. (Try not to overmix.) Add all but 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips to the batter and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar and the reserved chocolate chips, pressing them in slightly so they stick. Bake until the cake puffs slightly and a skewer or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached or with smudges of melted chocolate chips (the chips will be dark brown versus the lighter color of uncooked cake batter), 75 to 80 minutes.
  • Let the loaf cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift the cake out of the pan and let cool completely on a rack before slicing, about 2 hours.
