Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  5. Add the shredded zucchini to the wet mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  6. Fold in the dry ingredients gently until no large streaks of flour remain.
  7. Incorporate the chocolate chips, reserving some for the top if desired.
  8. Layer half of the batter in the prepared loaf pan, add spoonfuls of peanut butter, then top with the remaining batter.
  9. Add reserved chocolate chips on top and gently swirl with a knife.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
