This was excellent!!! My very picky husband even loved it. Love the flavors. Highly recommended.

Very moist. Mine needed to cook a bit longer than recommended, which is odd for my oven. Something to watch for.

I've made this a few times since my husband is bringing in bushels of zukes from his garden every day. We also had 19 lbs of apricots which make a great sub for applesauce... and freezing them straight from the tree make prep much easier. No blanching needed, and they defrost mushy, so pits just pop out when cooking down. I omitted oil, used the stewed apricot, half the sugar, lime zest,Ghirardelli chips, increased cinnamon to 1tsp and 3+ cups of sweated zucchini. We are high altitude, so increased baking time to 1 hour. This made 4 mini loaves and a thin regular load. GORGEOUS, and now freezing them for Christmas presents.

I have been making this recipe for a couple of years now and it is by far my favorite zucchini bread recipe. I usually make a few changes to make it a bit healthier...and it still turns out great! I replace 1C all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, I substitute applesauce for half of the oil and use only 1-1/2C sugar. Also, I use mini semisweet chips and have no problem with them sinking like the regular chips sometimes do. And be sure not to overbake it...it's best when it's still a bit soft in the middle. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

Very good, especially that orange zest! My chips did sink to the bottom. I give it 4 stars because it was good, but I wouldn't say out of this world.

The bread turned out excellent. I followed the recipe precisely (minus the nuts) and had no problems. The orange zest adds just the right amount of flavor. I was also happy to see that the chocoalte chips stayed mixed evenly throughout the bread instead of sinking to the bottom like in many other recipes. I will be making more soon!

Flavorful, moist, and unique. Next time I will add just a bit more orange zest b/c the orange flavor was more subtle than I wanted it to be. Also, I used dark chocolate morsels. The flavor was both nostalgic and elegant....awesome!!

I used the recipe exactly as written and it was very good. Only problem is... a tsp. of nutmeg is WAY too much... it just overpowered the taste of everything else. But other than that, this recipe is a keeper.

Made this recipe to the letter. With all the great reviews I thought I was in for something great. I was very disappointed and upset that I wasted my chocolate chips on this recipe. Well lets just say it kind of tasted like fruit cake. I will stay with the lemon blueberry zucchini bread recipe I have for a different zucchini bread. I did not like this at all. Will not make it again.

This is an incredible recipe. I made one loaf with chocolate chips and one without. I preferred the one without the chocolate chips, but both were very good.

I just finished making this and trying it. It was super easy to make, fast and yummy. The only thing different that I did was to split the white sugar with brown sugar (half and half).

This bread was great. I thought 2 cups of sugar would be too sweet so I used 1 1/2 cups; also used half oil & half unsweetened applesauce. Everyone loved it!

I would probably give this recipe only 4 stars, but I don't really like orange flavored food. However, my husband loves orange especially with chocolate and I made these for him. If he could he would give this bread 6 stars. He gobbled these up like crazy! I made these just like the recipe called except I made muffins and I used butter instead of oil and I had to use a little brown sugar because I ran out of white. Lastly, I forgot to buy nuts so I omitted the nuts. I really wish I hadn't forgot them because I think the nuts would have been really good. Overall, I think these muffins are great if someone is inclined to like orange. I don't even care for orange and I ate about 7 or 8 of them.

This bread is great! The combination of chocolate and orange really enhance the recipe. My whole family enjoys it - kids too. I sprinkle some coarse sugar on top before baking to make the crust pretty and a little crunchy!

Delicious!! I would definitely use applesauce for half the oil next time though, as the recipe as written is a bit oily for my taste. I wouldn't make any other changes though, the flavors are wonderful!

Yummmmy!! I just made this and it is absolutely scrumptious! I didn't have orange zest, so I grated the rind of a lemon I had (about 1 Tbsp.) and put that in. I also used half oil and half applesauce. I probably used closer to 3 cups of grated zucchini. I really packed it in 2 cups and threw in some extra. I didn't have walnuts on hand so I used chopped pecans. I tried the glaze that some suggested and I think it's perfect without it. Thanks for a wonderful recipe that will definitely stay in my recipe box and will make many many more times!!

These were fantastic! I decided to make muffins out of the mix so I could share more and everyone LOVED them. I didn't have walnuts, but I added unsalted sunflower seeds instead - and I also had a little bit of extra shredded coconut I decided to throw in as well... sooooo yummy! Definitely making these again.
