Chocolate Zucchini Loaf

I have a friend at work who used to bring me these zucchinis from her garden.  Now that I'm back at this job, I walked into my office the other day and found a zucchini on my table.  I gratefully accepted because who doesn't love home grown produce?  

This one was a little on the bigger(enormous really) side so while a I grilled a few slices, the rest went into the food processor for shredding and became an obviously super healthy vegetable chocolate loaf.  Okay so while not the healthiest food out there,  there was gobs of zucchini and just a bit of sugar in the loaf.  

I love that you can still see streaks of green in the loaf. Chocolate + zucchini = summer happiness.
