Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I don’t know about you, but the only way I can feed my family zucchini is hidden in baked goods. And this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is my absolute favorite way to deliver zucchini incognito.
My husband loathes zucchini, even in baked goods. And he couldn’t get enough of this decadent, chocolate chip studded bread.
Between him and my hungry teenagers, I barely got a piece for myself!
I made this over the weekend and let me just say…..definitely a keeper recipe! It was so delicious, I will absolutely be making this again!

The bread is so moist and full of chocolate flavor, it’s hard to imagine enjoying a chocolate loaf without zucchini. Yes, there are four cups of zucchini in this recipe. It may seem like a lot, but trust me, it’s just perfect.
You can put all of the chocolate chips into the batter, but I like to keep some for sprinkling on top. And it goes without saying that extra chocolate chips are always a good thing!
This also makes great muffins and mini loaves, just be sure to adjust your baking time accordingly.
If you’ve got an overabundance of zucchini in your garden–or your neighbors are trying to give you their extra zucchini, then this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is the recipe for you!
If you ask me, it’s about the best thing you can do with zucchini!
I just made this bread. The batter filled a pampered chef 4-mini loaf pan stoneware pan. I just have to say….I think I’m going to eat all four mini loaves right now as I burn myself eating them because they are sooooo good!!!

Delicious! I made these as written, except I baked them in muffin pans for better portability. The 9-year old was eyeing the batter with suspicion. It took some coaxing to get her to try a bite, but she said they are yummy. Whatever it takes to get her used to veggies other than broccoli, peas and carrots!

I made this over the weekend and let me just say.. definitely a keeper recipe! It was so delicious and chocolately, I will absolutely be making this again! I had to keep it in the oven for a bit longer than 60 minutes, though, closer to an hour and half. Since I only had a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan, the batter had to go into one pan and it was just so big that the center was still uncooked after 60 mins.
