Chocolate and zucchini pair oh so well together. So why not double up on the chocolate flavour with both cocoa powder and chocolate, and while you're at it double up on the entire recipe because this is the sort of thing that will go fast... especially if you add a slather of peanut butter and a sprinkle of sea salt. And unlikely traditional sweet loves, because this is high in protein and healthy fats, you'll feel sated after a slice or two, making it a healthy option for as quick breakfast, late afternoon snack, or evening dessert.
