I guess this bread is really more like chocolate cake that happens to have zucchini in it than the other way around. But if you take something that already tastes pretty dang good and isn't too bad for you and then add chocolate, you know it just can't go wrong.

I'm so glad you like this as much as I do. I must give credit where credit is due, I got the recipe from the Lion House Cookbook. Kelly you need to visit us out here, there are all kinds of ethnic foods to try and we need a couple up for the challenge!!
when do you add the applesauce?
Oops! D'Neill, you add it before you add the zucchini (and I changed it on the directions as well). Thanks for pointing that out!
