Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees and grease an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the butter in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl and microwave for one minute, or until just melted. Stir in the brown sugar until completely smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until incorporated. (Be sure to add the eggs after the brown sugar is mixed in, as the hot butter alone could cook the eggs.)
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda and instant coffee (if using) in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture and stir until well combined. It will be very thick.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips. (It will still be thick -- that's okay.)
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean (save for perhaps a smear from the melted chocolate chips). Let the loaf cool on a rack for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD
Steps:
- Preheat oven, prepare loaf pans: Preheat oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with baking spray or butter.
- Beat sugar and eggs, add melted butter, instant coffee granules, almond extract: In a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until smooth, about a minute. You can do this with an electric mixer on medium speed, or by hand with a wooden spoon. (I'm lazy and use a mixer but it's easy enough to do by hand.) Add the melted butter, instant coffee granules, and almond extract and beat until smooth.
- Add zucchini to the egg mixture: Mix the shredded zucchini into the sugar egg mixture. Add the flour to the zucchini mixture in 3 additions, stirring to combine after each addition.
- Cool: Remove to a rack. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the edges to separate the bread from the pan. Remove from the loaf pans and let cool completely on a rack. Note that if you try to slice the chocolate zucchini bread before it has completely cooled, it will be rather crumbly. It's also easiest to slice with a bread knife.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE ZUCCHINI BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY
This twist on zucchini bread combines the best of both worlds: cinnamon and spice with decadent triple chocolate. Don't worry about squeezing excess liquid from the zucchini - it will keep the bread moist! Before you bake, swirl the two batters together with a skewer or knife for a perfect marbling effect. For the best slice, let the bread cool completely before serving - but you might not be able to wait that long!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°.
- Butter and flour 2 loaf pans.
- Whisk the flour with the cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves in a medium size bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar in a medium bowl with a mixer on med high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- While you're mixing, drizzle in the oil, then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir the vanilla into the buttermilk.
- Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour.
- (Like this--flour, buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, flour) Scrape the sides of the bowl when needed.
- Fold in the zucchini and chocolate.
- Divide batter into the 2 pans.
- Bake until tester comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
- (be careful, the tester may look chocolatey from the chocolate in the bread--don't overbake) Cool in pans on rack before removing and slicing.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Use young, tender zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Avoid large, mature zucchini, as they can be tough and watery.
- Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to incorporate into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking chocolate zucchini bread is 350°F (175°C). This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Chocolate zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's a great way to use up leftover zucchini, and it's also a fun and easy recipe to make with kids. With its moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and hint of zucchini, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
