For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips. Toasting the nuts before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor. Squeezing excess moisture from the zucchini prevents the bread from becoming soggy. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
