"I love rich, double chocolate recipes and this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is my new favorite! It's really moist, full of flavor, and loaded with chocolate goodness."

NotesTo shred zucchini; use a box grater. To pure zucchini; use a food processor and pulse until somewhat smooth, but not too fine.
You can also use frozen zucchini, just make sure it's thoroughly defrosted before adding it to the recipe.
The bread is perfectly baked when it's golden brown and the top is firm but just a bit soft in the middle. Remove from oven when a toothpick inserted comes out a little sticky, but not wet. The bread will continue to cook a little in the pan after it's removed from the oven.
FYI: This bread can be cooled up to a couple hours and it shouldn't stick to the pan. I know, because I cooled my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread for a couple hours and it came out easily.
