Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Blueberry Zucchini Loaf.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and generously greasing two loaf pans to ensure easy release.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, brown sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until the mixture is beautifully blended.
Step 3
Gently fold in the freshly grated zucchini, allowing it to mingle with the wet ingredients.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal (if you’re using it), cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a hint of ground cardamom.
Step 5
Gradually introduce this dry blend to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to keep the batter light and airy.
Step 6
To prepare the blueberries, toss them in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour; this simple trick helps them stay suspended in the batter rather than sinking to the bottom.
Step 7
Carefully fold the floured blueberries into the batter, taking care not to overmix.
Step 8
Divide the luscious batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, filling each about two-thirds full for the perfect rise.
Step 9
Slide the pans into your preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your loaves are ready.
Step 10
Once baked, let the loaves cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness to come!.
