    Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread made with Kodiak Cakes Dark Chocolate, is indulgent. Easy to make and deliciously moist & chocolatey!

    We are back with another Kodiak Cakes recipe! Did you know my Blueberry Snack Bars made with Kodiak Cakes has 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!

    Justin and I have been Kodiak Cake fans for years. I just started playing around with different recipes using their mixes around 2018 and I am a fan even more!

    So here we are again but this time with a chocolate twist (for my favorite person 😉 my chocolate-loving husband). Dark Chocolate Zucchini​​ Bread made with Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Dark Chocolate Flapjack & Waffle Mix has been a favorite snack of his for the past couple of weeks and I know it will be for you too.

    How to Make

    By using the Kodiak Cakes dark chocolate mix, you skip the need for flour and cocoa powder in the recipe.

    Plus this is a one bowl chocolate zucchini bread recipe! WINNING!

    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!

    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 and moist and you won't ever be able to tell there is a sneaky serving of veggies in there.

    Dark chocolate zucchini bread is the perfect mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack.

        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!
