    Moist, rich, and packed with flavor, this dark chocolate zucchini bread made with Kodiak Cakes is so yummy. Freshly grated zucchini, creamy Greek yogurt, and plenty of dark chocolate chips come together for a tender loaf that's oven-baked to perfection. Enjoy it as a sweet breakfast treat or the perfect afternoon snack with a cup of coffee.

    We are back with another Kodiak Cakes recipe! Did you know my Blueberry Snack Bars made with Kodiak Cakes and green onion sausage balls made with Kodiak cakes have been a consistent top recipe on the site since the beginning?! They are quick and easy to make and perfect on-the-go snack for busy weekdays. You're going to love this dark chocolate zucchini bread just as much!

    We are using Kodiak Cakes power cakes dark chocolate flapjack and waffle mix for this recipe. It's a one bowl wonder so let me show you how I like to make this!

    Enjoy warm, room temp, or even cold. Store the loaf in the fridge while you eat on it so it will keep. This bread is dense but moist and won't last long in your home. 😉

    Description

    Moist, rich, and packed with flavor, this dark chocolate zucchini bread made with Kodiak Cakes is so yummy. Freshly grated zucchini, creamy Greek yogurt, and plenty of dark chocolate chips come together for a tender loaf that's oven-baked to perfection. Enjoy it as a sweet breakfast treat or the perfect afternoon snack with a cup of coffee.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 Egg Whites
    • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil - melted
    • ½ Cup Greek Yogurt
    • ½ Cup Milk
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
    • 1 ½ Cups Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Dark Chocolate Flapjack & Waffle mix
    • ⅓ Cup Brown Sugar
    • ½ Teaspoon Salt
    • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
    • ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
    • ½ Teaspoon Espresso Powder
    • 1 Cup Zucchini - shredded
    • ½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips


    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. In a large bowl add egg whites, melted coconut oil, greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla. With a hand-held mixer, mix for 60 seconds or until everything is well incorporated and combined.
    3. To the bowl add in Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Dark Chocolate Flapjack & Waffle Mix, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and espresso powder. Mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
    4. Shred 1 medium zucchini with a cheese grater on the largest hole to get 1 cup of shredded zucchini.
    5. Add in shredded zucchini and dark chocolate chips and fold into the batter with a rubber spatula until everything is combined.
    6. Pour the batter into a greased loaf dish and place it in the oven for 55-60 minutes. Check to see the doneness by sticking a toothpick in the middle of the bread. If it comes out clean it is finished, if not bake for another 5 minutes until so.
    7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the bread and pan to help release it from the sides and flip upside down to release from the pan onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely then slice and enjoy!

        Sure! Just do equal subs! Should taste great but just not be chocolate. Swap in a tablespoon of vanilla for the espresso powder. Let me know how it turns out!

      Going to try this before work today! Do you think I could swap a 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder for a 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee? Would that get the espresso flavor?

      How would you do these as muffins? Temperature and timing?

        Absolutely!! Same temp - 350 degrees and for 20-25, and until a toothpick comes out clean in the middle. Such a great idea!

      I don't like coconut oil, could I use avocado oil instead, or more Greek yogurt?

        I have not used any other oil but avocado or melted butter (both equal parts) should work. I wouldn't sub in more greek yogurt.
