Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

2. Spread walnuts in a pie pan and bake until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

4. Whisk eggs, sugar, fruit-based fat replacement (or applesauce), oil, vanilla and melted chocolate in another large bowl until blended. Add to the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in zucchini and the reserved walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops.

5. Bake the loaves 55 to 60 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert onto rack and cool completely.

Yummy & chocolaty!

This recipe is very tasty but a bit dry. I tried a second batch and omitted the applesauce and used 1/2 cup more oil. I also reduced baking by 5 minutes. Much moister! This one goes with my favorite recipes!

made due

This is great! I didn't have applesauce, so I added 1/2 cup canola oil. I mixed the crushed walnuts in the batter and since I didn't have unsweeted chocolate laying around, I added about another 1/4 C cocoa. It turned out great!!

Great combination!

I love zucchini, love bread and who doesn't like chocolate. Will add it to recipe box to make LATER.
