Zucchini Bread

8 Julby Amy0

 Zucchini Bread always the perfect way to use up an excess of garden zucchini.  Add in some chocolate and you have a perfectly moist and delicious bread.

Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread Great to Freeze

Yes, another Zucchini recipe.

Really can you have to many zucchini recipes??  Nope, not when its summer time and the garden is exploding.

Zucchini plants will take over if you don’t lasso them back.  I usually plant four plants (more than I need) each year, mostly so I have an abundance to make this bread.  Speaking of this bread, it really is delicious and mois.

I usually don’t put in nuts in this bread, which is a personal preference, but I always add the chocolate.  This bread freezes really really well and I always have several loaves in the freezer. A loaf of this bread makes a great present to neighbor or friend.  They will ask you for the recipe, so make sure you save it or pin it.

Another reason to love this recipe is the ease which you can throw it together, you don’t need a mixer and only two bowls, a spoon, grater and your pans.
