Ingredients
  

FOR CINNAMON SPICE ZUCCHINI BREAD:

  • 6 cups zucchini shredded
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • ¾ cup butter melted
  • 1 ⅓ cups sugar
  • 4 cups flour + more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ tablespoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup walnuts for topping

FOR TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease two bread pans and set aside.
  • Use a large hole cheese grater or vegetable shredder to shred 1-2 large zucchinis until you have about 6 cups.
  • Quick Dry: Use paper towels to absorb as much of the liquid from the zucchini as possible. Press and stir the zucchini with the paper towels to extract the moisture.
  • Efficient Dry: Alternatively, place the shredded zucchini in a large mesh strainer over a bowl. Let the liquid drip out, pressing through with a paper towel or the bottom of a plate. Stir in the strainer and press out as much liquid as possible. Let drip dry for about 30 minutes to an hour.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, eggs, butter, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
  • Pour half of the batter into one of the bread pans. Sprinkle with walnuts on top, as desired, and set aside.
  • To the remaining batter, add the cocoa powder, melted dark baking chocolate, and chocolate chips. Mix well and pour into the second baking pan. Sprinkle with walnuts on top, as desired.
  • Bake both pans in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Serve warm, topped with butter, bananas, and peanut butter, or even plain. Enjoy!
