Notes

If you use frozen zucchini for this recipe, be sure to thaw it completely. Before stirring it into the batter, squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
This chocolate zucchini bread recipe makes two loaves. It freezes beautifully, so you can slice one for eating now and freeze the second one for later.
