My chocolate zucchini bread, surely eats like a moist cake. Even if thinly sliced and a smear of butter. It'll make your mouth water for it every time you hear it's name. Happy baking.

How To Make chocolate zucchini bread

  • 1
    Mix your wet ingredients with a hand held mixer. Whisk or sift your dry and slowly add them to your batter. Batter tends to get dry, so up your speed on your mixer half way through.
  • 2
    Add your zucchini last, once your batter is mixed well. I do this by hand, slowly working the grated pieces in. The batter will loosen up more. Add your chocolate chips. Save some. about a 1/4 cup
  • 3
    This will make two loaves so split batter when pouring. Add your nuts/or chips now (on top for decoration) once ready for oven. I use semi-sweet but have done milk chocolate as well. Not a big taste difference, this bread is sweet, and counterbalances it. Have tried with semi-sweet inside and milk chocolate chips outside before too.
  • 4
    Prepare two loaf pans, brushed with oil or cooking spray then dusted with cocoa powder, like you would a floured loaf.
  • 5
    Bake at 325* F for 60 to 70 minutes. If it's humid, as September begins it''ll be less baking time. Can freeze for 2 months.
