Notes
Choose fresh, firm zucchini with a vibrant green color.
Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter.
If you prefer a less sweet bread, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by up to 1/4 cup.
Store the cooled Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
