It may not be zucchini season anymore, but I found some pretty zucchinis for a good price so I couldn’t resist! Plus, it has chocolate… and Kahlúa. I loooove Kahlúa!! And chocolate! Put it all together, and you have an amazing bread. It’s moist and flavorful. Plus, Kahlúa is coffee liqueur, and coffee means breakfast, hence we have a perfect breakfast bread (it’s okay, the alcohol is burned off anyways)!
I adapted the recipe from it’s original to make it truly a quick bread. No creaming of butter and sugar required, and no stand mixer needed. Just a spoon and a bowl, and your a little arm muscle! I love quick breads that you can pretty much just throw together!
Chocolate Kahlúa Zucchini Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup canola oil
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup Kahlúa
1 cup shredded zucchini
½ cup dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8½x4-inch loaf pan; set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, combine oil, sugar, and eggs. Whisk to blend, then add Kahlúa. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently stir in zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until wood pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes then turn out onto wire rack and finish cooling.

A Dash of Sugar and Spice 
You sure did put the “quick” in this quick bread recipe! Any dish that allows me to have more chocolate is a definite winner in my book.
I am also a courgette freak and buy it all year round, even when it’s out of season (I’m sure I get cheated during the season too and buy unconsciously vegetable grown in green houses anyway…).
Your cake looks gorgeous! I always appreciate easy cakes without kneading, mixing etc..
This looks healthy! I’m tagging it as healthy. =D
Looks sumptuous! Yum.
I’ll pass on the chocolate, but the Kahlua sounds like an interesting addition. Speaking of that, I haven’t had a coffee and Kahlua in a long time. I’ll need to fix that this weekend. 🙂
you had me at kahula!! yummy
I was witness to plenty of zucchini recipes over the past few months, but never saw one as interesting and refreshingly different as this. Love the idea of adding kahlua!
You definitely had me at Kahlua! And chocolate. Yummmy!
So I was reading the title: Chocolate, oh yes. Kahlua, even more yes! Zucchini, … wait,… what? Haha, to be fair I’ve seen quite a few zucchini cake recipes around now, so I’m over the shock of seeing it used as a cake ingredient. Now it just remains for me to actually try it myself… but I’m still a little scared 😀 Looks beautiful – I’m sure it’s absolutely wonderful!
