Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread!
My wonderful friend, Erin passed along her recipe for Zucchini Bread and included one of her home-grown zucchini's to bake with (it's the size of a melon, see below)!
I adapted her recipe a bit to include some whole wheat flour and chocolate chips....because 99.9% of my recipes include chocolate so it has to be in there somewhere :) I think this turned out preeeeeeetty darn great and baked perfectly, too.
Makes: 2 loaves
