  5. Fold in the 1 ½ cups grated and strained zucchini. Add the flour mixture, stir to combine, and lastly fold in the ½ cup mini chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the bread pan. Sprinkle the topping mixture on the top.

Notes

For a richer flavor, pair the bread with a spread of cream cheese or serve warm with ice cream.
