Ingredients

• 1 cup grated Zucchini
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Almond milk
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a large holed grater. Measure 1 cup of grated zucchini and set aside. If the zucchini is too watery, gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla protein powder until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk, mixing until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and dark chocolate chips.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
