How to Make - Sweet Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread

Time: 1 hour.
Complexity: easily
Quantity: 2 loaves

This dessert bread is another delicious and unusual way to use zucchini in season. Fresh zucchini is added to the dough in grated form, infusing the baked goods with valuable dietary fiber and making them juicier and softer. Along with bits of semisweet chocolate and pecans, they blend so harmoniously into this sweet bread that you won't even notice the vegetables. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest infuse the baked goods with a magical, spicy aroma. Serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream and ribbons of fresh zucchini, which can be peeled with a regular vegetable peeler.
