Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This turned out SO delicious!! I used 2 cups white whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup turbinado sugar, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, olive oil instead of canola, a little bit extra applesauce and zucchini, and instead of melting chocolate, I added about 2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chunks. Making it again today. Recipe made one large loaf and a half loaf (very short lol). Doing it this way the bread itself is less chocolatey so you can taste zucchini (very mild, nice flavor) but with lovely chocolate chunks dispersed! Oh and I did not use walnuts bc of preference.

A nice not-too-rich sweet bread to satisfy a chocolate craving. I subbed pecans for the walnuts, reduced 1/4 cup of the sugar and baked in a bundt pan for 42 mins at 315 degrees convection bake. Family liked it with whipped cream on top.

My Favorite Chocolate Veggie Dessert I sustituted 1/2 cup Agave nectar and 1/2 cup Demerra brown sugar for the white sugar and used 1 cup of applesauce and no oil and it came out perfect and moist! I make muffins using an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter! They freeze great! I have been using this recipe since I found it over a year ago! It's the best! Pros: Easy, yummy, and sure to please!

Not what I was expecting the bread did not rise into what I would consider normal dessert type bread should (made 2 loafs as per directions) I thought the cocoa over whelmed the bread it all just tasted like chocolate. I also reduced the sugar and omitted the oil for more applesauce.

Very good. I upped the cocoa to 1/3 cup, used only 3/4 cup sugar, left out the melted chocolate and replaced 2 of the eggs with Egg Beaters. This reduced the calories to 167 and 6 total grams of fat. I only had a 9x5 pan, so I made 6 muffins (30 min. baking time) and one 9x5 loaf (75 min. baking time).

I'm not a baker, but I was desperate for a recipe to use the abundance of zucchini from my garden. I try to eat healthy and avoid a lot of sugar, so I was glad when I found a recipe that used the apple sauce in place of some of the oil. This bread was so delicious. I can't wait until next summer when my garden is in bloom and my zucchini is ready! I will be making this recipe over and over again.

it was amazing! the recipe itself provides a great sturcture and basis for further variations and testings. I will do it again, but will also play with other ingredients.

I made it a couple of days ago. I substituted chocolate for 1/3 cup of very strong coffee (about 6 tbsp of isntant coffee in 1/3 cup of water) with 1/2 cup of sugar. I skipped that other cup of sugar, and added 1/4 cup of Splenda to the flour mix instead. Cutting down the sugar brings the calories down to more acceptable 190 cals per slice (maybe even a bit less since I didn't use chocolate, but per 8 slices it should be barely noticeable) and 26 g carbs. It tastes great, but it is a very small loaf, so my plan to bring one to work, and leave another at home was not to be. Instead, I split every slice into 2, and we have them as a part of our after dinner dessert with a cup of canteloupe and a fit of low cal yogurt. 4 instead of 5, because initial recipe is far too high in cals and sugar in my view.
