Choc Chip Zucchini Bread

If you are hesitant about ‘zucchini bread’, trust me, I was too. This was until I made and devoured this delicious choc chip rendition. Grated zucchini, mixed into the batter, brings lovely moisture to this bread! Once you have a bite, you will thank me!

Also, If you have a little picky eater in the family who doesn’t love their veggies, cut them off a slice. I hope you will both be pleasantly surprised!
