- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Add dark chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, checking for doneness at 55 minutes with a toothpick.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy your chocolatey, fudgy zucchini bread!
