Great Bread - thank you. I too used Cocoa powder because I didn't have the squares. The powder and shortening worked fine. This is a keeper - I will make again and again.

Yummy! More of a cake than a bread - very moist and rich. I did the half applesauce, half oil thing, and added about 3 TBSP of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients. I baked all the batter in one 9x13 pan, as my bread pan was occupied. Since the batter is spread thinner, it doesn't take as long to bake through - I took it out after about 45 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for done-ness.

Really, really great stuff. I subbed 6 tbsp cocoa powder and 2 tbsp coconut oil for the chocolate squares, whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour, and raw cane sugar instead of white... worked great, absolutely delicious! Thanks for giving me a way to use up all this zucchini!

This is an excellent recipe. We added a half cup of walnuts and to help prevent sticking, cut a piece of parchment paper the shape of the bottom of the bread loaf pans we used and greased the top of the parchment paper and the loaves came out great. Everyone raves about this recipe.

I made this and it was the best zucchini bread I've ever tasted! I made about 15 mini loaves of it and shared it with patrons at the bar I work at. Everyone raved about how great it tastes and wants a copy of the recipe, so I've been emailing/sharing your recipe on here! Thanks for a fantastic and easy recipe!

I made into muffins, which were really more like cupcakes, with cream cheese frosting. Very rich and delicious. You would never know there was zucchini in them. I did not have unsweetened chocolate so I substituted 3 tablespoons cocoa powder & 1 tablespoon butter for each square of chocolate in the recipe. Worked perfectly.

this was amazing!!! I put the chocolate chips in with the dry mix which kept everyone suspended, and used cocoa powder mixed with oil in place of the squares. My ricer worked great to get out the excess moisture. Will definitely make again!

this is terrific, and if you have some zucchini to use up you should definitely put it in your repertoire. I subbed some of the oil with applesauce and some of the sugar with splenda, otherwise made it as written and we all loved it. Even my son's friend, who doesn't eat vegetables at all, loved it. We didn't tell him about the zucchini until after he ate it though--he was like 'I've never had zucchini, its good'. lol.

Not what I was hoping for. I followed the recipe and added some of the suggestions in the reviews, such as grease the pan twice as much as you think you need, add the choc. chips to the flour mixture, and adding sour cream. It stuck to the bottom and had a burnt kind of taste, even though I only baked it 40 minutes. (it was perfectly baked at that point) It looked good. I wanted this to tastesoooooooo good and it was just ok. Need to keep looking or tweaking. Sorry.

This bread did not turn out at all for me. The method is all wrong, you cannot add melted baking chocolate at the same time as the zucchini, it will sieze up and become hard little balls in the batter. I wasn't sure about the cinnamon, but added it anyway, thinking the mexican chocolate cake has it, and that is delicious. This bread is not rich enough to pull it off. I even added some cocoa powder to the flour to try to make it more chocolatey. It didn't work. I added the chocolate chips to the dry ingredients, and they didn't sink, but my mini loaves all stuck horribly to the pans. This is the first quick bread I have ever had stick to my stoneware pans that have been well seasoned. I think the bread itself just didn't hold together to come out of the pan. I tasted the bread, and it just wasn't very chocolatey, it was kind of regular zucchini bread with some bitter chocolate mixed into it. Wierd taste, so I tried to save it, and made a glaze for the bread using chocolate, butter, and cream. It still didn't help much.

This bread was delicious, after I made some changes to it. One thing that I like is clear directions, and the melted chocolate is not something you can mix into a cold batter without it hardening as mixed in. On the plus side, it does melt again when baking. I substitued the oil with fat free yogurt, did 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup packed Splenda Brown Sugar Baking Blend. I also added 2 heaping tbsp. of cocoa powder, and did 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda. This definitely made it healthier.

So I started making this recipe, and realized that the grater was being difficult, so I just chopped the zucchini up into itty bitty pieces with a knife instead. I ended up having closer to 3 cups then 2, but I figured it would make the recipe more zucchini-tastic, so I added it all anyhow. I was feeling saucy, so rather then using 2 cups of white sugar, I did 1 cup white and 1 cup brown. I didn't have any unsweetened chocolate, so I kinda took the idea from the Chocolate Zucchini Bread II recipe and used 1/4 cup cocoa powder instead. Now here's the bad part: when I got to the point where I needed to add in the flour, I realized that I only had 1 cup's worth left. I just didn't feel like going to the grocery store (it was late) or harassing someone else to go to the grocery store (I'm entirely too nice for my own good), so I cracked open a package of brownie mix and used a cup of that instead, figuring that brownie mix is probably mostly flour anyhow....right? So I baked it for 60 min and the result was rather like an English pudding crossed with, well, brownie. Crusty on top, and really moist in the middle, with random globs of chocolate and zucchini. My mutant concoction in no way resembled what this recipe was supposed to look like in the end, but it went fabulous with vanilla ice cream!

I absolutely love this recipe. I've used it several times and it always comes out fabulous. I normally don't write a review if I've made changes but the changes I made are very minor. I don't normally keep chocolate (bars) on hand so I used cocoa powder and I don't think it effects the taste or texture, if it is a bit dry, then I add an extra small egg to the batter. I also find grating my zucchini on the smallest grating side works best. I've made it with a bigger grate, like what you'd get from your food processor but the smaller size seems to make the bread really moist with a better texture than the bigger size. I also use whole wheat flour instead of white and I don't think it changes much. I've done some variations as well such as putting strawberries or raspberries in the mixture. I usually make mine into extra large muffins and then ice them with cake coating and add a variety of sprinkles or cake decorations. This recipe will always be in my recipe box :).

This was the first time I made zucchini bread so i was grateful the recipe was easy to follow. The only change I made was adding the chocolate chips with the flour mixture like some others recommended. I'll definitely be making this again - the end result is delicious!
