Now we are &#8220;Celebrating Green and Welcoming Spring&#8221; with recipes that include a naturally green ingredient.

I originally used Irish Cream in the recipe, but even with the spirulina it just wasn&#8217;t green enough, and though it was tasty, I really wanted a little more flavor. Chocolate mint is a combination I love, so I swapped out Creme de Menthe for the Irish Cream and was very, very satisfied. Not a natural green source, of course, but I figure the zucchini and spirulina bought me a little leeway.<\/p>\n<p>Either way is good, so I&#8217;m leaving the choice up to you. Or, if you really don&#8217;t want to use booze, you can always substitute milk and add teaspoon of peppermint extract for flavor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Green-and-Spring-300x225.jpg\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chocolate Mint Zucchini Swirl Bread<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Rowdy Baker<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary summary\">Makes 2 loaves<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 cups sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup chopped walnuts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 cups grated zucchini<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4 eggs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk and a teaspoon of lemon juice)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 cup strong coffee, cooled<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 cup creme de menthe<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 teaspoon spirulina (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat oven to 350 F.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Prepare two loaf pans by greasing and flouring, or using an oil\/flour spray (like Baker&#8217;s Joy)<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and walnuts. Add the grated zucchini and toss to coat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In medium bowl, whisk the eggs well. Add the oil and buttermilk and whisk until combined.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients (don&#8217;t put the medium bowl in the sink &#8211; you&#8217;ll use it in a minute) and stir just until most of the flour is incorporated. Put half of the mixture back in the medium bowl.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To one bowl add the coffee and melted chocolate, and stir until it is combined. Don&#8217;t overstir!<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To the other bowl add the creme de menthe and spirulina. Stir until just combined.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Divide the chocolate mixture evenly between the two loaf pans. Pour the green mixture over the chocolate mixture and swirl a little with a rubber spatula or table knife.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle. Cooking time will depend on the size of your loaf pans. When I used slightly smaller pans the bread took a few more minutes to bake.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove pans to a rack and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before turning the bread out. Allow bread to cool completely before cutting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display:
