I've always been interested in the science of baking. It has served me well in not wasting money and time and effort spent not to mention frustration and disappointment in a less than perfect outcome.
I was kind of tired, because I have so much zucchini in my garden, I've made Greek style zucchini, zucchini soup, zucchini fritters...😮💨But I haven't tried a sweet recipe with them!❤️ I will try it!
It is cake for the content of fat and sugar. Did you know that in some countries Subway s bread its clasify as cake because it has to much fat and sugar?
Hi John, just for reference I have been baking for over 50 years and this is the most incredible zucchini bread I have ever made. I didn't even add the espresso because I ran out, so next time it will even be better, though I can't imagine that. I will be making this bread many many more times. I've made quite a few of your recipes, and I love them all. Thanks for sharing all your yummy dishes.
Hi John, I made your chocolate zucchini bread and it was delicious. I made a second loaf but I omitted the cocoa powder and chocolate chip. I replace the chocolate chip with chopped pecans and the cocoa powder with brown sugar. It turn out fantastic. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Just made this recipe. But I put them in the large muffin tray. Baked for 45 min. Could have been good at 40 min. The kids loved them!! Didn’t even care there was zucchini in them. Great recipe!!
I've made several of your muffin recipes for our after church coffee and muffins and they are always delicious. People often ask for my recipe. I think I'll try this one for tomorrow.
It's the only way I'll eat zucchini, thus it is the only reason I bother growing it in my garden. Enjoy! ;-) P.S. go ahead and make it and try a slice - if you do not like it, slice the remainder of the loaf into single servings, wrap and freeze them, then give them to a friend.
I made it this morning! This recipe is DELICIOUS. So chocolaty, and you don’t detect the zucchini texture at all. Adding this one to the recipe box. Thank you John!
I harvested a giant zucchini the other day with plans to make this, also. I'll add copious pecans, though: it's practically a requirement for living in the south. ;-)
Just tried the recipe. I too love how you explain things in detail. I would have passed algebra if you'd been my teacher. I used my food processor to chop the zucchini, but made sure to weigh it. Old recipes when we didn't have scales, sift flour, or cream butter can change things. I follow you, then tweak I need to. Thanks for helping me grow in baking. At 65 I'm still learning. Old recipes we were taught, a pinch, a smidge, and buttermilk. Now it's science learning new things. Thanks for teaching us so well!! Sometimes I just like to hear you in my kitchen, it's like the old days when we all cooked together. Blessings to you.
This. Is. The. Best. I used Ghirardelli 72% choc chips and a combo of Hershey’s cocoa and Ghirardelli dark chocolate baking cocoa. We are a dark choc fam. I weighed and sifted as instructed and was careful not to over-bake. I made a double batch and used mini loaf pans so that I could share with my grown daughters. I even got my autistic student (I teach in my home), who is afraid to try new things and thinks he hates zucchini, to try it. He loved it and took my recipe and some zucchini home to make his family a loaf. This recipe is now included in my favorite recipe file, and this is significant because I am a picky baker with a sophisticated palate. Well done, John!
So I made a double batch of this bread tonight.I made a loaf to keep at home and a loaf to give to my bosses who I will see tomorrow.I love to cook.I love watching people enjoy something that I make.I have gotten hooked on watching your videos.Not only do I learn how to make some delicious dishes,I get a few pointers that have helped me in my own cooking outside of your recipes.Thank you for all of your amazing recipes and being a positive light.
Made your red velvet cake yesterday, was great. Even though I over frosted it. I’m on my way to see Top Gun: Maverick again right now. That movie is amazing.
I went to the farmers market just to buy zucchini in order to make this recipe. It turned out beautifully. It is not overly sweet, and it has a crackly top, and is moist and fudgy on the inside. The coffee is undetectable. So delicious!
I am getting tons of zucchini this year. I have been thinking about baking some bread. I hadn't thought of doing chocolate. That would go good with a strong cup of black coffee. My mom used to shred it and freeze it in 2 cup portions in freezer bags. She would add it to spaghetti sauce to get us to eat it LOL. We never knew :)
Oh wow!! I grow zucchini and my husband’s grandma always made zucchini bread. So glad you have this recipe on here!!! I will def try! I have plenty of zucchini !!!
John I make chocolate zucchini bread and I love it! My mom's recipe is so moist and melt in your mouth yummy! I want to try your recipe. I did add to much zucchini to my recipe one time and it didn't bake up right. Just love all your recipes and they all come out perfect!
Thanks for talking about the sizes of the zucchini’s instead of just saying how many. That drives me crazy because like you say, they come in different sizes. This looks DELICIOUS
I love zucchini eaten raw just plain or in salads. My favorite pizza has an Alfredo sauce and fresh zucchini and Roma tomatoes. Yummy. I’ve made this several times. It’s a favorite of just about everyone. It truly is more of a cake than a bread.
NY Times had this same recipe but they used brown sugar and didn't include coffee or cinnamon. I followed your version except I did stick with the brown sugar from the Times. Great cake-bread and it also smells so good when baking. I think the coffee and cinnamon are a must. Thanks!
I love this combination of flavours and adding vegetable into the sweetbaking is genious ♥️ My mum grows zucchini in her garden and I could not resist to bake this bread today for my family. It is delicious, my kids will be very pleased tomorrow 😁👍 Thank you for sharing your recipies, it makes lots of people very happy every day for sure 🥰
Hi. Made this yesterday and have to say it was absolutely gorgeous. Never ever baked with zucchini/courgette in cakes before so was very warey about it but can't believe how beautiful it turned out. 😍 will definitely be baking this again. Thank you xx
Hey all! Size matters, smaller is better with zucchini...Summer squashes are more flavorful and tender when they are younger. So, pick them small (either from the garden or the market)! ...Now, going to the kitchen to try this recipe, looks decent.
If you’re diabetic like me, put stevia instead of sugar ! I put 20 ml of liquid stevia to the wet batter and skipped the sugar altogether ! It works so well !
I had some beautiful zucchini given to me and made muffins and fritters with a medium sized zucchini left over. So, this recipe was timely. It is in the oven now, but I realized that I inadvertently doubled the baking powder and baking soda. I did reduce the egg as my eggs are quite large. So, we'll see what I get in about 45 minutes. Wish me luck.
Loved! This recipe! So easy! First time making this and my whole family love it! Thank you so much for explaining everything so easy! I made them into muffins instead for portion control but still delish!
Oh my goodness!!!! Made thid last nite. Soo sooo melt in your mouth deeeelicious! Whip whip whip! 😊 I find myself saying tjis every time I bake. Thank you John 🤩
I just picked a few zucchini! I’m making this today! My mother use to make zucchini breads when o was a kid and until I saw your video I forgot about it. Thank you! Can I use other squash such as banana squash in this recipe as well?
Hi John! Love your videos. I have been doing a garden for years. Unfortunately this year is the first year (2022) that my body won't let me garden. I'll explain. 6 years ago I fell down my basement steps. As the years went by my back would be in too much pain to garden. Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts if you pray. Thank you in advance.
I have some zucchini that I don't feel like eating. This video is right on time! Thanks! I've never had chocolate zucchini bread and I can't wait to try it 💜
Greeting from Japan! At 6 min 55 sec in your video, you said ‘cake’, but it wasn’t counted; all the nit-picking aside, your recipes that I’ve tried so far are GREAT and this one is next on the list. Keep up the great work!! I’m actually enjoying cooking and baking now with your help. Looking forward to more great content!
It’s actually a cake because it contains sugar ! Americans call it bread because of the shape ! If it’s baked in a loaf pan, they call it bread but it’s cake !
Amazing👩🍳👨🍳 how different I will make it soon, I discovered you two weeks ago looking for a birthday cake🎂 recipe, I ventured out and thanks to you I made my first birthday cake and it was a success, I made the hummingbird cake, what a different recipe and incredible flavor, thank you for teaching us how to make wonderful recipes. I'm loving follow you , and sending it to my friends! 🍽🥧🍝🥙🙂😋👨🍳
I made this and it’s so delicious !!! I used regular cocoa since I didn’t have that special one! Turns out great and very moistly !!! Next step: grow zucchini’s 😅❤
I love how you explain "details" of baking, for instance why we shouldn't bake cold batter. Looks delicious! ♥️
Yes! First time I heard that. Now I know better 😊
I've always been interested in the science of baking. It has served me well in not wasting money and time and effort spent not to mention frustration and disappointment in a less than perfect outcome.
Love it!!! Made this morning and made into muffins instead. 375 for between 15-20 minutes. They turned out fabulous
I was kind of tired, because I have so much zucchini in my garden, I've made Greek style zucchini, zucchini soup, zucchini fritters...😮💨But I haven't tried a sweet recipe with them!❤️ I will try it!
I bet these would make good treats if made in muffin tins. Individual servings. I'll have another one please, haha
I'll be buying zucchini today at nearby farmers market to transform into this delightful looking "bread" (c'mon now, it's really a cake, right??)
It is cake for the content of fat and sugar. Did you know that in some countries Subway s bread its clasify as cake because it has to much fat and sugar?
Yeah same story as banana bread, which is also a cake but is called bread for some reason 😂
It’s called bread because it’s made in a bread loaf pan. It’s like if you put it in a muffin pan they would be muffins. Duh.
🎂 Cake 😀😂😂
@@Toughmittens pound cakes are baked in loaf pans too, but they are called cakes?

Not a big fan of zucchini but I have to say this looks Amazing - always learn something new from your videos - great job as usual ~ thanks
Hope you love it!!

P.S. go ahead and make it and try a slice - if you do not like it, slice the remainder of the loaf into single servings, wrap and freeze them, then give them to a friend.
The zucchini is undetectable in this recipe.
I’m definitely making two loaves today! I have a giant zucchini in the garden with this recipe all over it. Thank you!
I'll be your taste tester. 😜

@@stephaniesimpson4016 good to know because I will be making it too.

I'm buried under zucchini this year. This recipe looks so good I doubled it. Two loaves Iin the over RIGHT NOW! Yeah! Thanks John.

Just made this and it was delicious. Didn’t have vanilla or espresso powder, but did add some already made coffee and it came out just fine!
Another “cake” at 7:38. 😁
That looks delicious. 😋
I was just getting ready to make this with my child size zucchini from my garden! Great minds think alike!
Made this today and it is a keeper! My friend’s two year old son devoured a piece. Thank you, John!
I baked this DELICIOUS bread yesterday and what can I say!? It’s mind blowing!!! Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
Made your red velvet cake yesterday, was great. Even though I over frosted it. I’m on my way to see

I love chocolate! I love zucchini! I love bread! 😋 So I, of course, love THIS!

You are so amazing, John. I love your recipes and videos!! So glad I found you! ❤️
I made this last night and it is fantastic. I put half in the freezer for when my company comes in a few weeks
Very nice chocolate cake John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good week! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫

I've recently been changing up my diet being diabetic and this is one of my No Need to Feel Guilty.. Guilty treats. 😋
If you’re diabetic like me, put stevia instead of sugar !
I put 20 ml of liquid stevia to the wet batter and skipped the sugar altogether ! It works so well !
I just made this in my tiny kitchen with my small oven and it turned out very well. It is a very good recipe .Thank you. .
Looks so good! I'll be able to have a busy and tasty weekend. 😄

Hi John, as always another great recipe. Looks delicious I can't wait to make it ☺️. Thank you for always making it so easy to follow recipes.
This is now cooking in my oven, and while it's cooking, I made a zucchini + Feta cheese omelet for lunch ! Thanks for the inspiration. So delicious.
John that zucchini bread looks absolutely amazing.
