Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 4-5 days.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

You can make this healthy chocolate zucchini loaf ahead of time in 2 different ways. ONE: MAKE THE DAY BEFORE - this will keep for up to 5 days, so you are totally fine making this the day before needing it. TWO - FREEZING ZUCCHINI BREAD - bake and cool the loaf completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap a couple of times and then in foil (leaving in the load pan) making sure it is air tight. Store in the freezer for 6 months. To eat, place in the fridge overnight to thaw.

Do You Peel Zucchini for Bread?

You do not need to peel the zucchini for this recipe. Just shred with a cheese grater without peeling.

What Does Zucchini Replace in Baking?

Using zucchini in baking recipes does not replace anything. It adds additional moisture to the batter because of the water content inside the vegetable, making whatever you are baking more moist. However, because of this, you will need to adjust other wet ingredients accordingly (decreasing them) to compensate for the additional moisture in the zucchini - and this is dependent on the recipe.

Why Does My Zucchini Bread Not Cook in the Middle?

It could be for 2 different reasons. ONE - not baking long enough - to test to see if your dark chocolate zucchini bread is finished, stick a toothpick in the middle of the bread. If it comes out clean it is finished, if not bake for another 5 minutes until so. TWO - too much moisture - you may have too many wet ingredients and the ratios are off, making it not likely to fully cook in the center. This will not be the case in this recipe though.

Can I Make This Recipe Into Muffins?

If you want to make this recipe into Kodiak Cakes chocolate zucchini muffins instead of a loaf - spoon batter into a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick in the middle of the bread comes out clean it is finished. If it doesn't, bake for another 5 minutes or until it does.
