I have never been someone that loves zucchini. I have tried. I have grilled it, eaten it raw, put it in salads, pretty much everything. But, zucchini bread is a whole other story! Since I am deathly allergic to bananas, zucchini bread is my alternative to banana bread. I have made many recipes in search of the perfect one. I have found it and am so happy to share it with you.
The recipe is from skinnytaste.com which has amazing recipes with tons of flavors but not tons of calories/fat. My favorite recipe from the site is the Low Fat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread. I made two loaves today and anticipate them being eaten very quickly.

| I grate my zucchini with the skin on to give more colour to the bread. |

| Mixture in the pan ready to be baked. I line my pans with parchment paper for easier lifting and cleaning. |

| The finished product cooling. *Note* you MUST bake it till it is this brown otherwise it is raw inside. |

Here is the link to the recipe. Try it, I know your family will love it!
That looks delicious! I love zucchini bread. (But, like you, not so much zucchini itself.)
I love your idea about lining the pan with parchment paper. I am going to try that next time I bake a loaf.
So glad that you liked it. It is a wonderful recipe.
Mmm. I love zucchini. And I LOVE zucchini bread!
Made this today, but made some adjustments to keep it gluten free. I used a combo of almond flour and quinoa flour, and use 1/4cup dark chocolate chips and 1/4 cup crushed walnuts. Its really moist-almost too moist which seems to happen whenever I used almond flour. May try again with cocnut flour. Oh! and I used sucanat instead of brown sugar.
It was yummy thx for the recipe!
So glad you liked the recipe. I would recommend using less applesauce if it was too moist. It is naturally a super moist cake the way it is so changing the flour would definitely affect it. Also, make sure you cook it the full 55 minutes. It really needs that long to fully cook through.
Thanks so much for linking up with Zillions of Zucchini! :)
