Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

November 18, 2017 by Salubrious RD Leave a Comment

Double.Chocolate.Zucchini bread. Wow, this is good. I really didn’t think there was any way to improve zucchini bread. I love plain, classic zucchini bread, but add some cocoa and dark chocolate chips and it’s a whole new ballgame.

I get into a baking kick every once in a while and I bake and bake. I never keep it all. There’s a good reason why most of my “bread” recipes make 2 loaves. Make one and give one away. Who doesn’t love the gift of bread?

I love using my loaf pans too. The picture above is one of my favorites. If I can find a vintage pan, I buy it. They are the best. There’s just something about a vintage piece of cookware that makes me happy. Just think of all of the love that was baked before you found it.

Some people are still scared of baking. Quick breads, which is what this is called, are usually one bowl recipes. This one is. I do this all in one bowl. I hate dishes, so I minimize the amount I have to wash. Quick bread is a bit deceiving. It’s quick to put together, but it does still take some time to bake. So, don’t go thinking this bakes quick. It’s totally worth it though.

Zucchini bread is the perfect solution to a big zucchini harvest, or maybe a great sale. Cheap zucchini is good zucchini. Maybe you have a zucchini that was forgotten in the bottom refrigerator drawer, shred that baby up and make some bread.

Enjoy!
