Double Chocolate Zucchini Loaf is the perfect recipe for all that summer zucchini & so easy to make too. Packed full of chocolate, you won’t know whether to have this for breakfast or dessert. So good!
We just had National Zucchini Bread Day!!! Gotta love food holidays like that!! I also love making zucchini bread.
I was originally going to share with you the one my late mother-in-law passed down to me. But then I found an old recipe I had come across for Double Chocolate Zucchini Loaf & I just had to make it.
It came out Fabulous!!!!!! So, of course, I had to share it with you all.
I love that this was moist & dense & really- you can’t taste the zucchini. It’s more like a brownie bread that is sort of good for you 🙂
If you would like a more traditional zucchini bread recipe you can try my Butternut Squash bread recipe & substitute in the zucchini for the squash. I promise you will love it too.

You’ll love this recipe because it’s so easy. I just toss everything in a bowl & mix. It doesn’t require a whole lot of steps & man is it delicious.
It’s a really good thing this recipe makes two loaves- because one certainly isn’t enough in this house.
I have been asked if this recipe can be halved or doubled. The answer is, I have not tried it yet. I would imagine it would be fine if you made sure to keep your portions appropriate to the size of your loaf pan & watched the timing.
But if you end up trying it, please let me know. I would love to hear how it turned out.
