Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread will make you say "Mmmmmm!" It's a terrific breakfast or dessert bread.
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread smells terrific when baking.
This Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is super good. People who love chocolate really love it for breakfast, or anytime. Sweet breads like this are called "quick breads" because they don't use yeast and do not have to rise before baking. When you use baking powder and/or baking soda, the ingredients interact and rise in the oven. Since the bread is dense, however, it takes about an hour to bake. Make one for tomorrow and enjoy it on National Zucchini Bread Day.
Did you know that when zucchini grows really large in the summer and early fall, you can still use it? Yup. When zucchini grow past the foot-long stage, I use them in casseroles or baked goods. But right now, the zucchini you find will be the normal, cucumber size squash. That's okay, too. You will probably need 2-3 zucchini for the recipe.
What You Need
You will need measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, an electric mixer, a box grater or a food processor. And of course, bread pans. Whatever you get, get the best you can afford.
