1/2 whole Large Avocado
1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 cup Granulated Sugar
2 whole Large Eggs
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Chocolate Extract
2 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate, Melted
2 cups Shredded, Unpeeled Zucchini
2 cups All-purpose Flour
3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt (or Sour Cream)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease and lightly flour four 5x3-inch loaf pans or one 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat avocado until smooth. Add butter and sugar, then beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, chocolate extract and melted chocolate until well mixed. Stir in zucchini.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to zucchini mixture alternating with Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
4
Place batter in the prepared pan(s). Bake at 350u00b0F for 35-45 minutes for the mini loaves, 65-75 minutes for the large loaf, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
Cool in the pans for 25 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to make sure the sides of the bread are loosened from the pan. Turn the bread out of the pans onto wire racks to cool completely.
6
This bread freezes beautifully.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
