Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, rolled oats, and baking soda. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in yogurt, vanilla extract, and grated lemon rind.
  6. Stir in finely grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two batches, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Fold in the melted chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
