Notes

Cook time can vary from 45-60 minutes depending on the oven.
Check the Chocolate Chip Zucchini bread at 45 minutes with a toothpick inserted into the center. When done, the batter will no longer stick, but can look like tiny crumbs clinging.
If still doughy, cook for an additional 5 minutes and recheck doneness.
