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.

AMAZING CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BREAD
This is a family recipe that I make all year long! A family favorite! This recipe is AMAZING! I make several loaves and freeze it. It's just as good after it thaws out as it is the day it's baked. I also shred zucchini from my garden and put it in 2-cup portions in the freezer for fresh bread all year round.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Zucchini: Select small to medium-sized zucchinis, as they tend to have a milder flavor and fewer seeds. Look for zucchinis that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Grate the Zucchini Properly: To ensure even distribution of zucchini throughout the bread, grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Avoid chopping or slicing the zucchini, as this can result in uneven texture.
- Measuring the Flour: To achieve the perfect consistency, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. This ensures accuracy and prevents the bread from becoming too dense or dry.
- Mixing the Batter: Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Use a spatula to gently fold in the grated zucchini to avoid breaking it down too much.
- Baking the Bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
