I think the chocolate chip zucchini bread needs 4 eggs. I made it once last year and once this year and it seems very dry and didn't rise much.

I'll try this one soon. My zucchini loaves often turn out cracked and then deflat. The centre is often mushy even though the toothpick comes out clean. Any suggestions?

Hi Paula, Funny that you are baking this morning Zuchinni bread. So am I. Just picked some zuchinni from my garden, shredded it last night and am ready to put my loaves together. Interesting that you add nutmeg, I think I will try that in these. I add about a 1 1/2 cup of pears too along with the chocolate chips to make my bread SUPER moist and I love the natural sweetness of the pears. I also add a cup of brown sugar to give it a darker color: 1 cup of white and 1 cup of brown sugar. Mmmmmm! Have a scrumptious Zuchinni day!!!!

This was my first-time Paula's recipe, and I'm glad I chose this! The flavor of spices and zucchini is awesome!! I didn't use pecans because I couldn't find unsalted one, but it was still great! It was so delicious that I ate this like everyday! Thank you for sharing this great recipe, Paula!!

We loved this! I cut back on the oil a bit, to maybe 7/8 cup, and cut back on the sugar to about 1 1/2 cups. Mindful of the person who noted that their chocolate chips sank to the bottom, I decided to use miniature chocolate chips. I was really glad I did, as the chips spread throughout the bread and there was chocolate pretty much in every bite. I had no oranges on hand, so I substituted 1 tsp. of pure orange extract for the orange peel. The orange flavor with the spices and chocolate is a wonderful combination! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I plan to use little loaves of this as small Christmas gifts.

My mother in law turned me on to this receipe. My husb, Tommy & I like white choc. chips over the choc. Made this receipe the exact same. I like almonds over pecans, but since there was enuf for two loaves it was no problem. I only came across one problem...2 just wasn't enuf. Everyone who came by had a piece & it just didn't last long-ha!ha! I'm making it again tonight...Thanks for this receipe! Its going in my book, TommyLeigh08
