Browned Butter Dark Chocolate Smoked Zucchini Bread, need I say more?

My garden is out of control this year and I am having a hard time keeping up with the harvest, but that’s about to change with this new smoked zucchini bread recipe. The flavor combos that come together in this bread are like nothing you have tasted before. The smokiness paired with the browned butter, rich dark chocolate, and moist zucchini bread, makes every bite worth savoring. If you are looking for a bread everyone will love as well as a way for you to use up your zucchini, you have hit the jackpot.

I’ve been using a Traeger for about 2 years now and I have always been the oddball that uses it more for non-meat recipes than meat recipes. I use it a ton during the summer when the temps are high and there is no way that I am going to turn the oven on. I personally love the added smokiness that the smoker gives to each food. A bit of complexity in every bite and differentiates the dish from non-smoked items.

Ok, I hear you…. Enough talking about everything else, let’s get to the recipe and making this loaf of deliciousness.

Smoked Zucchini Bread Recipe

• 4 medium Zucchini Grated & Strained
• 1 cup Coconut Sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tsp Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste
• 1 cup browned butter
• 3 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups dark chocolate chunks buy chunks or chop a bar of chocolate
• 4 cups Flour I used King Arthur 1:1 Gluten Free

Smoked Zucchini Bread Instructions

• Preheat Traeger to 350 and prep your pans. I sprayed mine with coconut oil.
• Grate, strain and dry out your zucchini and just set aside while you get the batter ready.
• In a large bowl pour in the browned butter, coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla paste and whisk together. Add in the zucchini and whisk again.
• In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and mix until evenly combined. Add to the wet ingredients and carefully mix just until combined. Add the chocolate chunks and fold into the batter, you want these chunks of deliciousness in every bite.
• Evenly pour the batter into the prepared tins and place in smoker.
• Smoke the bread for 55-65 minutes. You want to be checking your bread because the smoker can dry out the batter and no one wants dry bread. I removed my bread at 65 minutes when the crust had crisped and the batter cooked perfectly.
• Allow the bread to cool on a cooling rack for 15-20 minutes.

This bread is super easy to throw together and even easier to eat. You can double or triple the recipe to freeze some, trust me you will need more! This bread goes fast. I think the hardest part of the whole recipe is waiting for the bread to cool. Might have to leave the house because the aromas are so tempting, self control will be tested.
