Yes, it’s zucchini yet again. Please, don’t say that you want all things pumpkin already! I am holding onto the summer food for a bit longer. And to convince you – I am bringing a chocolate treat. Because chocolate always wins!

MY LATEST VIDEOS

This double chocolate bread has two cups of shredded zucchini, a cup of chocolate chips and tastes just like brownies! How can you say no?!

If you remember the Apple Zucchini Muffins that I shared here recently, you know that I bought large zucchini at Aldi’s. Just one of them made three cups shredded. I used one for the muffins and the remaining two for this bread. If you have large zucchini, I highly recommend using it for both recipes. You can freeze the muffins and the bread for up to 3 months or enjoy freshly-baked. Either way, you will love them!

I enjoyed thick slices of this fantastic bread with my morning coffee. It also helps me survive our first days back to homeschool. The kids are tempted to sneak out and go run outside. Especially recently, when the weather is absolutely gorgeous. No unbearable heat, just comfortable warm, slightly breezy days. It’s one of those things that I will miss about the summer for sure. It makes me want to soak up the last days and pretend I don’t see all the pumpkin recipes on Pinterest! 🙂

Recipe Notes

It is very important to squeeze as much moisture from the shredded zucchini and apple as possible. To do so, place shredded zucchini on a stack of two paper towels and squeeze in your hands over the sink. You can use a colander with small holes but the paper towel method works the best.
