Triple Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This bread could accurately be called Death by Chocolate. But what a way to go, folks! The bread itself is decadently moist and chocolatey with melted morsels of chocolate chips. Then there’s the chocolate glaze on top. Drizzled or spread, it takes this bread to a whole new level. 

My garden seems to be behind the times. It’s just started going crazy with the zucchini, and we have been making zucchini bread at least once a week. Now, we love plain old zucchini bread (and here’s a great recipe – you can top it with the buttercream or not!), but nothing, nothing compares to the triple chocolate loaf. My husband has been asking for it since I told him I planted zucchini and my son has dubbed this “nummy cake.” He asks for it constantly (but don’t worry, I don’t let him have a ton. I am not capable of handling an Alex hyped up on this stuff!). 

Anyway, if you have zucchini lying around, you might want to consider adding this to your baking repertoire 🙂
