Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

My mother has been trying new flavors of zucchini bread … she told me the most popular flavor she’s made lately is the peanut butter one. She makes hers with peanut butter chips … my mom is not a big fan of chocolate, but she does like peanut butter.

Mom didn’t give me a recipe, probably knowing that I really didn’t need one … and if she had given me one, I would change it anyway. Mom knows me well!

I made up my own version of peanut butter zucchini bread … mine had to have chocolate. Dark chocolate. Because peanut butter and dark chocolate just belong together.

Mom is right … this flavor of zucchini bread is divine … the texture is just perfect … and it’s even better with a little schmear of peanut butter.
