Chocolate Wave Zucchini Bread

[KimKelly]

A while back someone posted that they tried this recipe and it stuck to the pan. I tried it again and used a tip supplied by Mom! I sprayed the pan with cooking spray, then instead of dusting with flour I dusted with sugar. I did let the bread sit for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven, then turned it onto a plate. I had no problems with sticking, and as a bonus I love the sugar!

This recipe was posted a little while back under a thread I started looking for the zucchini bread recipe mentioned in the August issue editorials. Someone kindly posted that recipe along with the chocolate wave zucchini bread. I made the chocolate one and it was delicious!

Chocolate zucchini bread (low fat)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, preferably Dutch-process
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large egg, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup Fruit Puree Fat Replacement
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 cups zucchini, grated

Estimated Cooking Time: 1 hour 20 min.

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees F). Lightly oil 8-by-4-inch loaf pans as needed or coat them with nonstick spray [original recipe makes 2 loaves].


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


3. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.


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


5. Bake loaves for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert onto rack and cool completely. (The bread will keep, well wrapped, at room temperature for 1 to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month

I just made the same recipe that Vanessa posted. It is from Eating Well and is absolutely delicious. Should be listed as cake, not bread!.
