Warning: this bread tastes nothing like zucchini and it is dangerously good!
So I had some leftover zucchini from this tasty bread, and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.
Add CHOCOLATE!!!
And MORE CHOCOLATE!
To make Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread.
I haven’t made this bread in a little while and I forgot how unbelievable it is!
It has the right amount of chocolate flavor and the zucchini makes it moist and delicious!
And with extra chocolate chips scattered throughout the bread, this breakfast tastes more like dessert!
It will be your new favorite zucchini recipe!
PS This bread freezes well!
