"This is a different, not-too-sweet zucchini bread that I like because it doesn't have that "oiliness" I associate with most. Oh, and I just happen to love coconut, too! It has a nice fine texture and also happens to be loaded with chocolate chips. This recipe makes 2 loaves."

This bread was very good tasting. However it was not as moist as other quick breads I have made, could be that the zucchini I used did not have the moisture content (very dry growing season). I was almost tempted to add a few tablespoons of water to it but didn't. I will try to make it again.
