I substituted the shortening for applesauce and love this healthier and delicious sweet bread. Gotta try this one!

This is pretty good. I wish the chocolate part was a little sweeter.....I don't know, it just needed something. Don't get me wrong though, the family gobbled it up.

Used butter instead of shortening b/c I had it on hand, added coconut as per another reviewer and instead of pumpkin spice added cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg & ginger. It baked 1hour and 15min in my oven but is so moist and delicious that I will make again forsure! If someone isn't a fan of zucchini they would never be able to tell that this bread has it in it!

Would definitely make again. Used butter instead of shortening, added 1/3 cup wheat germ. About 1/4 cup more zucchini too, packed down. Looks soo strange when its mixed up b4 U add the dry ingredients. Turned out just fine and cooked in 1hr. GREAT with chocolate nutella spread on it! Didnt have any choc chips to add tho.. so the thinly spread nutella adds YUM! SOO pretty! TIP: Dump out half of the batter into the pan and use the same bowl to mix in the cocoa! Save yourself a dish! :)

It was good. Mine turned out kinda mushy. Zucchini was really "wet" so maybe I should have omitted the water. I use cinnamon because I lacked pumpkin spice. At any rate it was eaten up fast by family. I most certainly make again.

I give this 4.5 stars. It has great taste and moistness. Next time I would put parchment paper on the bottom of my loaf pans though as someone else sugessted-I did put quite a bit of shortening on the bottom, but it still got a little hard and almost rubbery. As long as you cut that off the rest is wonderful. Also I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 white sugar an 1/2 brown, used 1/2 applesauce 1/2 shortening for the fat content and because my EXTRA large zuccini had alot of juice in it I did not have to use the water at all so I would suggest watching that-if I had added the water it would have been way too watery a batter. Thank you Lisa for the recipe, it is one my whole family said to keep and remake.

This was very easy to make and the flavor is really good! I did use shortening to grease the pan and it stuck on the bottom. I tried to cut it for presentation and it kind of fell apart a little. Maybe I will add just a bit more flour next time. But I WILL make it again.

I made SIX loaves of this. I made the recipe AS is with only two slight changes...I added about a half cup more of zucchinni because I didnt want to waste it and I addes some brown sugar. This recipe is fabulous! It "Waved" perfectly. I gave away loaves to family and friends and ALL of them said they loved it and asked for more!! I froze some as well and used it a few weeks later and it was just as good...I am making another batch this weekend. DELIGHTFUL recipe...You would be hard pressed to even know there was a vegetable in this bread!

Thought this was just OK - however, it received rave reviews from my brother's family. I'll give it another shot.

We loved this! A good way to get extra veggies in my family! My husband said yuck when I told him I had made chocolate zucchini bread but I made him try it and he loved it. He told me to put extra slices in his lunch for the next day so he could let some other people try it! Too funny! Thanks for the great recipe!

I love Zucchini bread and I love chocolate, but I didn't think the two complimented each other very well. I'm always trying new recipes but no one in my family cared for this one.

very moist and good! I used whole wheat flour to make it healthier. Also, I substituted nutmeg for pumpkin spice and margarine for shortening because that's what I had on hand! it still turned out well!

Really yummy bread, but mine stuck to the bottom of the pan. I used nonstick spray. Maybe next time I'll put parchment in the bottom or try the PAM-With-Flour stuff. Otherwise an excellent zucchini bread and one I'll make again!

I thought this recipe was outstanding. I altered it to make it gluten free by changing the wheat flour to brown and white rice four and adding xantham gum. Everything esle was the same, and I made muffins. It is the most flavorful and moist zucchini bread I have ever had!

This bread was amazing! Non veggie lovers will be surprised to find that you have snuck a veggie into their diet. I stuck to the recipe exactly but next time I may just mix it all and just make it chocolate zucchini bread. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe.
