Moist and a little sweet and a little salty, this Bacon Chocolate Zucchini Bread will blow your mind! Trust Me!

Moist and a little sweet and a little salty, this Bacon Chocolate Zucchini Bread will blow your mind! Trust Me!

Let’s be honest here….I was trying to be creative for Bacon Month, but I was running out of ideas. I was craving my dad’s secret recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Bread and I just happened to have some leftover bacon from breakfast, so I thought….I wonder how it would taste if I added the bacon to the mix. Bacon makes everything better right, so it had to work!

I got mixed responses when I told people what I was making. However, when it was done and everyone got to try a slice the results were unanimous….it was a huge HIT and the loaves I made was gone in an instant.

There were no leftovers for breakfast the next day. People were angry there was only 2 loaves. I thought there were going to be riots!

So for whatever reason, the bacon gods have smiled upon us! The bread is moist chocolate-y, and a little sweet….but it’s got hints of saltiness and little bits of crunchy goodness!
