Plan to give this a try as well, but will also be cutting recipe in half and using Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips for a healthier chocolate (they’re sweetened with stevia). I may also add some raw cacao to make it a full-on chocolate zucchini bread. No matter what, I’m sure I can’t go wrong … Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hi Dana, thank you for the great ideas! I hope you enjoy it!
Just made this recipe and it was really good! I cut the recipe in half and used turbinado sugar and added 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. I took the 2 loaves out at about 70 minutes. Toothpick test at 60 minutes was still kind of wet. We couldn’t wait for the bread to completely cool, it smelled so good. Bread was still kind of damp in the middle and maybe could have spent another 10-15 minutes in the oven.
