Awesome dessert!!! I reduced the amount of vegetable oil to 1/4 cup by making up the difference with 1/4 cup applesauce. For the flour, I combined equal parts all-purpose flour and whole wheat pastry flour. I added 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg. For the nuts, I only used a generous 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped, and that was enough for the whole loaf. I did not set aside any to sprinkle on top. I folded in the whole half cup of nuts. It does not need any more. Also, I made it with 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips. Love this dessert. Thank you.

I am so recommending this recipe! It tastes super GOOD!!! & sooo easy to make. I made a slight change to mine though. Instead of 1 cup chopped Pecan, I folded into the batter 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats. Everyone in my family truly enjoyed it for breakfast this morning.=D

Not impressed. I baked this to bring as a welcome gift to my new neighbors but am afraid they would think I'm probably not a baker. It isn't awful, just so-so. I've had better zucchini bread before and definitely better and moister chocolate bread. I'd say, if you're curious, try it, but if you're baking to impress, try another recipe.

I had to make this gluten-free, so I used a GF flour blend and added 1 and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. OMG! This is delicious!

Made cupcakes. Subbing half of oil for apple sauce works great. Very wet batter took a while to cook through. Cupcake was flattened after cooling. Topped off with one large pecan. Could use some more depth of flavor.

Made w/slight alterations because ingredients were not on hand.
Baked in paper lined muffin pans to celebrate a friend's 15 year anniversary - I doubled the recipe (yield: ~42 cupcakes. Didn't have vanilla or pecans/walnuts, so I used 2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter and added 2 cups of unsalted raw peanuts (skinned and halved. I used dark brown sugar instead of white table sugar. In place of 1 egg I used 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce from a can. Instead of buttermilk, I used sour cream. In place of the chocolate chunks, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Topped off each cupcake with a blanched & peeled almond instead of icing/frosting (mostly due to time limitations. A healthy alternative to dessert and the cupcake size was the perfect portion.

Temp: 400 degrees F
Time: 15-18 min. or until the top springs back when touched.

Not a crumb left!
A new favorite Summer- time recipe due to the extra zucchini's growing in the garden.

This is such an easy bread to make. I didn't have pecans so, I used walnuts. I took this to my son's and four of us ate half of it! It was still slightly warm and very moist. I always wrap my breads in foil before they are completely cool to keep them extra moist. I will def make this again. Great for beginners.
