I love this more than any chocolate cake I've ever eaten. I usually halve the recipe and make one loaf using two eggs. It wouldn't be safe for me to have two loaves of this in the house at one time.

MMMM!!! Made it with 1 3/4 cups sugar and 1/3 cup canola oil 2/3 cup applesauce. Wonderful! I put wax paper in bottom of bread pan and spray sides with Bakers Joy; comes out of pan every time!

Excellent recipe, started making it last Summer when trying to use up extra zucchini. I always make it into 2 smaller loaf pans so I can freeze one for later.I also just put my zucchini in the food processor and puree it, easier then shredding.

This is THE best zucchini bread recipe. Found it when it first published in '94, and been baking it on a regular basis ever since!

This recipe sounds very good but I am hesitant to use that much oil in my baking. How much applesauce should I substitute for the oil?

I love this chocolate zucchini bread. I always use 1/2 cup less sugar though because I add 1 cup of chocolate chips, yummy!

I added a bag of mini chocolate chips and it was excellent. I will definitely make again!
