Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips

This zucchini bread is double chocolate with the addition of cocoa powder and chocolate chips. It’s a little sweet, but not too sweet – it’s just right. It can be made in a loaf pan and sliced into bread or baked in a muffin tin for a great portable snack. I like to slather a slice with a little peanut butter for some extra protein and healthy fat. Have this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread as a snack, an easy breakfast, or even a simple dessert. (And if you love an easy and delicious quick bread, check out my recipe for Blue Ribbon Banana Bread.)

I am a big fan of recipes for simple, frugal, homemade food (even more so when it allows me to use some of the half-ton of zucchini I seem to have on my counter at the end of every summer!) This Double Chocolate Zucchini bread is one of those beloved recipes – frugal, homey, comforting and so chocolatey with a little garden-fresh bonus tucked inside. I like to make several batches and stash a few in my freezer for ready-made desserts and breakfasts.
