What do you get when you combine chocolate and zucchini? The most amazing Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread!
I love going to my local Farmer’s Market. There is just something about wandering up and down the aisles, looking at all of the gorgeous produce.
I love the open air, the colors and, most of all, the incredible selection of fruits and vegetables. In my region, the stands are full of bell peppers, pumpkins, squash and potatoes. A foodie’s dream!
There were also a lot of zucchini available. In fact, there was one that was probably about a good 6 pounds! That thing was ginormous!
Now, if I were to take a zucchini home and cook it for dinner, I would get all kinds of protests from my guys. However, if I shred it up and bake it into a chocolate-y, cinnamon-y bread, they will gobble it up!
This recipe for zucchini bread is my absolute favorite. It’s easy to make and makes two loaves – one to eat now and one to freeze for later!
