What's For Dinner?

*Andrea’s Chocolate Zucchini Bread*

*Wet Ingredients:*

* 2C shredded zucchini
* 1/3C light olive oil
* 1 egg white (or 3 TBSP of egg whites from a carton)
* 1C soymilk (plus a few extra splashes at the end)

*Dry Ingredients:*

* 2C Whole Wheat Pastry flour (or regular WW flour is fine)
* 1C Unbleached all purpose flour
* 1/2tsp Baking soda
* 2tsp Baking powder
* 1/4C Cane sugar
* 4TBSP Unsweetened Dark Chocolate Powder
* 2TBSP Ground flax
* 2tsp Ground cinnamon
* Freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/2tsp)
* Pinch cayenne pepper (just a small, very wee pinch)
* Pinch kosher salt (very small amount)
* 1.5C Dark chocolate chips (can use milk if prefer)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine
the wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl combine the dry
ingredients, making sure everything is incorporated. Then slowly
add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to
combine everything. You want to fold everything together, easily as
possible. This is a very thick and dense mixture. You may need to
add a few splashes of soymilk in to help the ingredients combine and
move along. However do not add more than an extra 1/3C. Add in the
extra amount a tablespoon at a time. This will help keep the
mixture thick and dense.

Once everything is combined, place mixture in a loaf pan (I used a
9x5x3 loaf glass pan) that was sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake at
350 for about 30-40 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted in the
center (highest peak) comes out clean.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes or so, then slice and enjoy!
