Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe

Anyone who has planted zucchini this year is likely at the point where they have more than they know what to do with (thank Katja for loading us up 🙂 )I feel like it’s a bit oxymoronic to describe a bread recipe as “Double Chocolate.” It’s more of a bread-like dessert. With four cups of shredded zucchini and a cup of whole wheat flour between the two loafs it yields, it ain’t all bad 😉

Ingredients & Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F

Then spray two 9×5 loaf with olive oil spray, and set aside.

Sift together:

  • 1 cup no-additive, whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups no-additive, unbleached flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder

Set aside, and in a separate bowl mix together:

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar

Then, beat:

  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tsps vanilla extract

In a food processor, or with a box grater, grate 3-4 zucchini

Combine:

  • previously set aside dry ingredients
  • 4 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips, or more to taste

Split batter between two loaf pans, and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick can be inserted into the middle of the loaf and come out completely clean.

Bonne appetite!

    I usually just add chocolate chips to my regular old zucchini bread. This sounds delicious! Now I just need to find somebody that wants to share some of their extra zucchini with me…

Often people fear responsive parenting will create Often people fear responsive parenting will create needy kids. 

Developmental research suggests otherwise. 

The more reliably and compassionately that we respond to our children’s needs, the more secure and assured they feel to venture out into the world.

Attachment & independence aren’t two opposite sides of a spectrum but two sides of the same coin.

I remember in my earlier days of parenting when I I remember in my earlier days of parenting when I had two under two so much of my life was spent thinking I’ll be happy when…

I’ll be happy when they sleep through the night.

I’ll be happy when my husband doesn’t have to work such late hours.

I’ll be happy when I look and feel like myself again and not a feeding troth 😬😬😬

As it turns out this struggle with finding happiness isn’t unique to me or parenting. 

Collectively our mental health is suffering, but there are many research backed ways to improve happiness. (Link in bio to read more).

Though there are countless people who understand t Though there are countless people who understand the importance of positive, responsive parenting, the idea that young children should self-soothe remains a prevalent belief.

Though this ideology is well-intentioned, it actually goes against what we know about human development.

Babies come into the world highly dependent on responsive caregiving not only for nurturance and protection but also to foster social and emotional development.

While it may seem that leaving a child to cry will help her learn to cope, it actually floods her brain with cortisol. She doesn’t learn to self-soothe but instead to shut down.

Though it may seem counterintuitive to some, independence is fostered through responsive care. The less stressed a child feels, the safer he feels to explore his world. The less stressed he feels, the more appropriate his emotional responses become.

This is first seen in late infancy but pervades through childhood and adulthood.

So often independence and attachment are thought t So often independence and attachment are thought to be mutually exclusive.
However, research shows that in order for children (and adults) to be independent, they need to feel safe and secure within their closest relationships. In childhood, this means having caregivers who respond to distress and both emotional and physical needs.
In adulthood, people who have responsive and caring partners feel more stable and comfortable being independent.
So hold and comfort those babies.
Hug and respond to your kids.
Love and hold space for the adults you are closest to.
Attachment fosters independence.
