This has been a family favorite for oh about 9 years. While I was in massage school, a friend in school shared her recipe. I have had to make a few changes due to allergies. But my sons could eat an entire loaf in one sitting if I allowed them to.
I would normally make a double of this recipe. But I cut it back down for you all. This bread freezes wonderfully so making double just makes sense to me.
The other thing I do with the zucchini. I remove the skin. This was my trick to get a green “veggie” into my son. He was a very picky eater. Veggies were not high on his yes list. So I tried different things to get them into him and this was his favorite. He was I think 8 before we told him what was in it.
But I will food saver it and freeze it so I can pull that out and whip up some bread when we are all out in the freezer.
Chocolate Chip Bread is wonderful any time of year!
As a side note, I am not kidding about the grease and flour. The Chocolate chips in the bread will stick to the container making it very hard to get the loaf out nicely.
