Ingredients
- zucchini - 2 cups (300g) (grated)
- all-purpose flour - 1 ¼ cups (190g)
- cocoa powder (unsweetened) - 4 tbsp.
- chocolate chips - 6 tbsp.
- baking soda - 1 tsp.
- salt - ¼ tsp.
- egg - 1 (beaten)
- olive oil - ⅓ cup (80ml)
- honey - ⅓ cup (110g)
- peanut butter - 4 tbsp.
Preparation Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a loaf tin lined with baking paper.
- 2. Grate the zucchini and place it into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze the zucchini over the sink to remove most of the water, then transfer into a bowl and set aside.
- 3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, baking soda and salt. Add the zucchini and stir to combine.
- 4. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, olive oil and honey together. Fold this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and combine with a spatula.
- 5. Transfer the batter into the loaf tin and drizzle with peanut butter.
- 6. Place the tin into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- 7. Remove the loaf from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the tin. Then remove the loaf from the tin and set aside on a wire rack to finish cooling before slicing.
