Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread

All zucchini recipes are wonderful any time of year, but this triple chocolate zucchini bread is especially nice during the height of summer when you have more zucchini on hand than you know what to do with and can't fathom eating another zucchini fritter or plate of zoodles. The bread is deeply chocolaty thanks to a triple chocolate combination of milk and bittersweet chocolate chips, along with cocoa powder. There's no need for an electric mixer; you just stir everything together in a big bowl, which makes it exceedingly easy! I love finishing this chocolate with a sprinkle of flaky salt to balance out some of the richness. This quick bread recipe makes two loaves—you can give one to a friend, or stash one in the freezer for a rainy day.

Should zucchini be peeled for bread?

Nope. Save yourself the time and don't peel the zucchini. Its skin is soft and totally edible. Once you grate the zucchini, you won't even notice the skin!

How do you grate zucchini for bread?

It's easy! Start by cutting the ends off of the zucchini. If your zucchini is especially large, you can cut it in half crosswise so it's easier to handle. Then grab a box grater and begin grating it on the side with the largest holes. That's it! If you have a food processor with a grating attachment, you can use that instead. But I find a box grater is easy enough to use.
