Low-fat Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe
After being gone for 10 days I have proof that people are honest in this world. I came home to a 5 lb zucchini this weekend.
Which says 1 of 2 things, people are not out to get the fruits of my labor or the folks I offered harvesting rights to, just did not know when it would be ready to be harvested!
Unfortunately, at this size, you can not just cut it up and make salads or even just saute it with some olive oil.

Never tried this Zucchini bread before but adding this to a chocolate bread – I’m sold.
Great recipe, this would be awesome with a hot coffee, thanks for sharing
I wish I had such luck with my veggie garden!! Sadly, I started mine a little too late this year so I never got around to planting zucchini plants…even if I did, I have a bad habit of picking the buds and frying them up with sauce rather than leaving them to grow! This chocolate zucchini loaf sounds so good! I wish I had a slice right now.
Lovely looking recipe, chocolate is always a winner!
I always grow dinky zucchinis. There are years where I wonder if i should just pluck the flowers and use those instead haha so this is really cool to read! I am trying to get Terry to eat more zucchini too so this would be an awesome thing to make without him knowing it’s in there!
