Grandmas Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This super easy zucchini bread is so moist and chocolaty that it’s easy to forget zucchini is in it! My husband even loves it and he’s never been a fan of zucchini!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two loaf pans.

Cream sugar, butter, oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, until mixed.

Pour batter equally into the prepared loaf pans.

The quality of the flour could make a real deal to your bread. Different brands do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal bread , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.

To made this in a breadmaker , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the makers instructions.

A bread first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can start it night before , then finish it off the next day.
