- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, coffee, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter. Stir in Zucchini. Now, stir in the flour mixture a little at a time, until all is combined. Try not to over beat. Fold in the walnuts and half the chocolate. Spray bread pan with bakers secret.

- 3. Place on cooling rack for 5 minutes, then remove from pan to finish cooling. I wrap in plastic wrap until serving. So moist and delicious!
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm zucchini: This ensures the bread has a moist texture and a mild, sweet flavor.
- Grate the zucchini finely: This helps it distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevents large chunks of zucchini from overpowering the bread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nutty crunch to the bread.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature: The bread should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F) to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This allows the bread to set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Zucchini walnut bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's a great way to use up extra zucchini from your garden and makes a wonderful gift. With its moist texture, nutty flavor, and hint of sweetness, zucchini walnut bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
