Easy, Delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bread + Recipe
Do I Have A Funny Story For You!
You know when you have a recipe that is so delicious, you want to share it with all of your friends?! The kind of recipe that has been in your family for eons and you’re absolutely positive that everyone you share it with is going to make it and love it?! And, the fact that it is so easy to make, puts it over the top, kind of recipe? The recipe I’m referring to is my Chocolate Zucchini Bread recipe.
But I have a little history with zucchini that even left me surprised when I tried this family recipe and LOVED it.
Growing up, I was a picky eater. And calling myself picky is really putting it mildly. Anything that smelled a little off to me, didn’t ever stand a chance. My parents and I would have stand offs, and they wouldn’t let me leave the table until I had finished everything on my plate, even if I only had one piece of the food I didn’t have any intention of eating.
I was stubborn, and they kept their word.
On several occasions, I would still be at the dinner table, and the kitchen had been cleaned up and everyone was in the den watching The Walton’s or Little House On The Prairie.
Except me.
I would still be sitting at the table, in the dark, refusing to eat two slices of canned beets or even worse, sautéd zucchini. My older sister would eventually come to my rescue. She would sneak out of the den, crawl into the dining room, open her mouth and I would scoop the beets or zucchini right into her mouth. Bless her – she has come to my rescue more than I care to admit.
Still to this day, I cannot eat sautéd zucchini – I prefer it raw, and I love this Chocolate Zucchini Bread. I think it’s because there’s only a hint of zucchini flavor, that is masked by delicious chocolate.
And let’s be honest, chocolate makes everything taste better.
The ingredients are few, and then they’re all mixed in a bowl, poured into a loaf pan and baked. Prep time is less than 10 minutes, and while the bread bakes, your house smells so good.
Double WIN.
