Of all the zucchini breads I have made, this one has to be the children's favorite. Double chocolate throughout and a brownie-like texture that make this the zucchini bread for my chocolate lovers.

In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs, honey, oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the salt, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, and flour mixing well. Stir in the zucchini and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Scattered the the remainder of the chocolate chips on top of the batter.

Mmmm, your bread does look good, Sherry. I've never had the chocolate. Love your red Old Britain Castles teacup too! Thanks for coming to tea.
Blessings,
Sandi
Oh my...that looks good! I remember the first time I had a chocolate zucchini combination, my mother-in-law made a cake. I thought it was so strange, but it tasted so good!
oh my. this looks absolutely incredible!!! I am pinning this for later- we don't grow zuchini, but I know we will get some from family and neighbors :) Yum!
Yum, this looks delicious!
Love anything chocolate - well ALMOST anything :)
Kathy
THIS is getting pinned - it looks scrumptious!!!
Thanks for sharing!
XOXO
Can you say yum?!!!
I can:)
I made two loaves of zucchini bread last evening and have two cups of shredded zucchini in the fridge. We love chocolate, so this I shall make.
I pinned this immediately! I'll be making it this weekend!
I can't wait to try this!
How much cocoa
Elizabeth it is a 1/3 cup of cocoa.

I just made this, and it is amazing!! One of the best things I've ever tasted.
Thank you Linda. I am glad you had success with it!

I'm about to try this as muffins using avocado oil and dates instead of sugar! I'll let you know what happens! ;)
I made these into muffins and they were a huge hit with my unsuspecting family! They will be a great snack for my kids! Thanks
They were sooo good! I ended up using avocado oil and sucanat and i also added a little instant coffee to amp up the choc flavour. They were soooo chocolately! Will be making these regularly!
Just now made these into muffins and taste is too good. Now I found my favorite chocolate muffins recipe.
Has anyone tried freezing the bread? I need to use the zucchini now, but my family won't be here for two weeks. TIA
Just made this! Can't wait to get it out of the oven! :) thanks for the recipe!
I made this today, but Instead of using honey I used light agave and I used a bunt pan to cook it in. After it was done I dusted it with powdered sugar. I didn't tell my teenage daughter that it had zucchini in it and she and I both loved it. It was so good she asked for another piece. Score!!! This is a keeper.
Oh, my. We love this! It was so good. I made mini loaves and they were delicious! My son couldn't believe there was zucchini in them. Next batch I am going to leave the chips off the top since I am freezing them and think the chips top with make a mess when reheating. Best zucchini recipe ever! Thanks for sharing!
How long did you bake for the muffins?
I baked this today and the entire family loved it...including our picky son. Very chocolatey and delicious. I baked it in a convection oven for 1 hr, watching to make sure it didn't over bake. I also used half and half white flour and whole wheat flour, I highly recommend this to every chocolate lover.
Thank you Jodie!
Can you substitute apple sauce for the oil?
Yes, Sandra. I have read you can sub applesauce for oil and it is a 1:1 ratio, meaning same amount of applesauce for oil.
One of the ladies in my stamping club brought this tonight. Have to say it was the best I have EVER had! She made it in a cake pan and served it with vanilla ice cream. Very good for dessert as it isn't too sweet.
This is a really good recipe.
A quick and easy to make chocolate zucchini bread i have ever tried. Thanks for sharing this amazing chocolate chip zucchini bread.
