Thanks so much. :-) I love that you added almond flour to the recipe. Did you use applesauce in place of the eggs or in addition? I love your description of the results for sure. ;-) Thanks again!

And love it! Wonderful for breakfast! I did alter the recipe just a bit the second time - just to play around and it turned out great. I used 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of all purpose GF flour and 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce, 1/4 cup canola oil and 1/2 cup olive oil, a pinch of cinnamon and a whole cup of cocoa. I found it less sweet, fluffier and the extra chocolate was nice. Thank you so much for posting the recipe! I have baked this bread twice now. And love it!

I'd probably make exactly that substitution, at least the first time I tried it. I've read guidance that says that agave is so much sweeter than granulated sugar that you can replace 1 cup of sugar with 1/3 cup of agave, but I don't think that would be sweet enough for me. And on the other end, I've read guidance that says sub 3/4 cup of agave for 1 cup of granulated sugar just as you're doing. I've also read that you should reduce other liquids and reduce the oven temperature 25 degrees, but first time around, I'd do exactly what you are doing and see how that works. I wouldn't add more flour mixture. I might reduce the oil a bit. because there can be such a thing as too much liquid. A lot of bloggers don't offer substitution suggestions because it's really a guessing game. It's important for you to get in the kitchen and start figuring out how your favorite ingredients "behave" when substituted. Best of luck!

And, big :-) on your comment---thank you so much for your kind words! Well, you know ... there's <em>truth in advertising</em> and all that, but that's why there was the "is it cake? or bread?" discussion. Plus, I had to let folks know that it was another way to use zucchini. Now as far as what you call it when you serve it to your family, that's entirely up to you. LOL So glad you enjoyed it so much! I have some more zucchini in the freezer so I can make it this winter when I love using my oven. ;-) Yes, you make a good point about it retaining the look from when it's placed in the pan. I'll go update my post to let folks know to make it as pretty as they want it at that time. Thanks again for all the kudos on this one! I'm working on a recipe right now that will be a pleaser when it's perfected ... Shirley Hi Kathy–So good to see you again! And, big :-) on your comment—thank you so much for your kind words!

This is super chocolatey! I don't know that I'd even have zucchini in the title because this is definitely chocolate bread! I really like the texture, though I was really worried because the batter was extremely stiff. I think next time I'll try to smooth it out in the pan; when it baked, it kept the very lumpy look that it had when I scooped the batter in the pan. But looks aren't everything - flavor and texture are WONDERFUL! Thank you for another winning recipe! WOW! This is super chocolatey!
