When we were living in Madison, we belong to an awesome CSA that had a pick-up point in our neighborhood. It was amazing. Not only were we able to walk to pick up our veggies each week, but we got to know other members that lived close by. I also loved that Farmer Andy – I called him this to his face to distinguish him from husband Andy – always included great recipes to use with each week’s box items. This Chocolate Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread? Just one of the amazing recipes he shared.
Well, sort of. I’ve made it my own by adding a bit more chocolate. And chocolate chips. Because you can never have too much of a good thing, right?

This recipe makes two standard sized loaves but that doesn’t mean that’s what you have to make! I typically make one large loaf and then use the rest of the batter to make mini loaves to share with friends and neighbors or to simply stash in my freezer for a later date.
