Zucchini bread is so scrumptious! Even if you don’t like zucchini, it is just plain yummy! Now add in chocolate chips? Yes please! My husband whom dislikes zucchini AND yogurt begs me to make this chocolate chip zucchini bread with greek yogurt. It is sweet and moist and a wonderful treat!

Zucchini bread is a great way to use up the over abundance of harvest we get each year and is also a really easy bread to make.

It is a sweet bread that can be eaten any time of the day or even just for a little pick me up treat.

The zucchini itself adds tons of moisture however and once you add yogurt it knocks it out of the park!

It really takes your average zucchini bread and amplifies the texture AND the flavor. People will be asking what your secret ingredient is!
