My kids loved this recipe and were shocked you couldn’t taste the zucchini. I used applesauce in lieu of oil – moist and yummy. I also used pecans – only because we had no walnuts.

Loved this. I used all whole wheat flour and it came out great. Very moist. Also, I topped it with dark chocolate chips and pecans. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing!

Tried and loved this recipe. Whole family loved it. I baked it 43 min in my oven and also used 1/2 cups chocolate chips and nuts. I use mini chocolate chips because they distribute better. Thanks!
