Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is very moist and very chocolatey. We used cocoa for the batter and added chocolate chips to give it extra chocolatey goodness!
This recipe makes two loaves of bread. I like milk chocolate chips best in this bread. I have sliced and frozen one loaf before. It worked fine. We microwaved the frozen bread pieces as we wanted them-just a bit to warm it up-it was delicious and moist.
My favorite tool for shredding zucchini, cheese, and carrots is the Salad Shooter. It is so easy to use and clean. It all comes apart so you can wash it easily. It’s wonderful.

Instructions for Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, and brown sugar until well blended.
Melt butter slowly in microwave-in a microwave safe bowl. Stir about every 5 seconds-you want the butter to melt but not to get hot.
Add melted butter to egg mixture and combine.
Mix in flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just blended.
Fold in freshly grated zucchini and then the chocolate chips-reserve a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to place on top of the batter before baking.
Pour batter equally into two greased and flour dusted bread pans.
Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Bake immediately at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes-until just set. Do not over bake.
Remove from the oven. Cool in the pan for ten minutes and then remove loaves and place them on a cooling rack. Allow time to cool until just warm.
Slice and enjoy!
