NOTES

1. When using the box grater to grate the zucchini, do so over a large bowl to quickly catch all the grated pieces. It is the best way to avoid a mess.
2. If you do not have semisweet chocolate chips, you can use other kinds, such as milk chocolate or dark chocolate. You can also use a combination of chips, such as white chocolate and milk chocolate.
3. If you would like to add a glaze to your bread, combine milk and powdered sugar and then drizzle it over your bread after removing it from the oven.

Storage: Store chocolate chip zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
