I made this Chocolate Zucchini Bread for my coworker's birthday a few weeks ago and it turned out great. It is chocolatey without being too sweet. It smelled so good while baking! This is great for breakfast or dessert. If you have an abundance of zucchini this summer, you should try this recipe. I promise you won't be disappointed! Also, sorry for my lack of blogging/posting recipes lately but life has been keeping me busy this summer. Hope you make this chocolate zucchini bread soon, enjoy!
This bread is so good that even Buddy wants a taste...too bad he can't!
