Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Turn your head for one minute in the garden and suddenly your zucchini turns into a monster the size of your arm. These huge vegetables are not so good for fresh eating, but make GREAT zucchini bread.

You can even shred a whole bunch of it to keep in the freezer for chocolate bread whenever you feel like it. I LOVE this recipe because it tastes like a brownie. YUM! Also, it makes a great gift because who doesn’t like chocolate? If you want to try the mini loaves then check out these pans.

  1. We made this last night and everyone LOVED it!!! Tasted like a yummy moist chocolate cake!! Will be writing this receipe down for the receipe box!! Thank you!!
  2. I used applesauce instead of the oil and I used 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of regular sugar and it was great! Loved it!
  3. This cake was amazing. My neighbor had given me zucchini so I searched for a recipe and chose this one. So, glad I did! Took her a few pieces and she asked for the recipe as well. Just plain yummy!
  4. A fantastic recipe! I was gifted some enormous zucchini, and they made wonderfully moist mini breads. I did have to bake for an extra ten minutes: so 40. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
  5. This was really good! I will definitely make it again. I didn't use white sugar. I used 3/4 cup of brown sugar instead, apple sauce instead of oil and 1 cup of oat flour instead of white flour.
  6. This recipe is such a hit for me. I sub the oil and eggs with applesauce and use dairy free chocolate chips to make it vegan. It makes such a moist loaf that is full of yummy, chocolatey goodness. I made the mistake of bringing it to my office once, and now my coworkers can't stop asking me when I'll make more. I was even given some zucchini by a coworker so I get to it quicker. Hah!
  7. Your Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is our new favorite!! So delicious and easy to make. Made it this evening; followed your recipe exactly. Had some warm - oh wow, so good! Had some later with vanilla ice cream. Hubs loves this - going to make it all summer long!!
  8. 7/25/18 I have made this several times now. Delicious every time! I used coconut oil this time and I reduce sugar to ¾ c of coconut sugar. I used ½ whole wheat flour and ½ all purpose flour. Otherwise followed recipe as written. <3
  9. I made this today, and oh my goodness! It is delicious! If you haven't tried this recipe, do it. you will not be disappointed.
  10. I absolutely love this cake! I was wondering if it’s possible to bake it in a 9 inch round pan provided I double the recipe. Please let me know!
  11. Made this following the directions except I did not squeeze excess water from zucchini and it was delicious. Deep chocolate flavor. Will make this again. Easy shredding if you have a Cuisinart.
  12. I have made this many times over in both a gluten free version and just as it is printed here Excellent both ways. Thanks so much.
  13. Delicious. I doubled this and used a bundt pan. I would throw an extra handfull of chocolate chips in next time...there will be a next time.
  14. Amazing recipe! I have made this several times and everyone always raves over it. Always add cinnamon and never measure it.

  15. I've been making this recipe for years. Coworkers RAVE about this recipe and have actually put zucchini on my desk in hopes that I'll make some for them. Since I'm vegan, I usually tweak the recipe by using applesauce in place of oil, and using flax seed eggs instead of real eggs. I've never had any issues with the substitutions, which just goes to show how amazing this recipe really is! I figured it was about time I give a review on this, since I've been making it for 3 years now. Thanks so much!

  16. Can You use Almond flour or Coconut flour instead of regular flour? Other wise receipt sounds great.

    5 stars

  17. This is absolutely delicious -- The reason for my 3 star rating? My problem was that even though I generously sprayed the pan, all the chocolate chips sank to the bottom and stuck like glue. It was a huge mess. Next time, I'll either eliminate the chocolate chips, use mini chips, or just sprinkle them all over the top and let them sink as they bake. The flavor was a chocoholics dream come true!
