Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 250 g flour
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 100 g regular white sugar
  • 180 g brown sugar
  • 20 g caramel sugar (of brown sugar)
  • 60 g melted butter
  • 40 g olive oil
  • 250 g chopped chocolate
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 100 g melted white chocolate
  • almond flakes on top
  • 3 eggs room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a bread pan or 2 smaller bread pans with baking paper.
  • Peel zucchini and grate them finely on the cheese grater. Press the zucchini to release some of the moisture.
  • Whisk butter, oil and vanilla extract with sugars. After 4 minutes of whisking add eggs and whisk for another 5 minutes.
  • Add flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. At this point use a wooden spoon to work with a very thick mixture. Just stir until the flour disappears. When the mixture is well stirred, add grated zucchini and stir again. After a few minutes, the mixture starts to release some moisture so it becomes less thick and will be runnier. Add chopped chocolate and stir well.
  • Pour the mixture into the bread pan. Sprinkle some almond flakes over the loaves of bread. Bake for 45-60 minutes. I baked mine in 2 small bread pans for 50 minutes.
  • Take the bread out of the oven and let cool completely. When the bread is cool, pour some cool melted white chocolate over it. Enjoy!
