I have never made zucchini bread before. So I searched for a recipe, and decided on this one. I kept a loaf for my family, and gave a loaf to my dad to take with him out of town. We he said that it was AWESOME!! Thank you Paula Deen!!

I actually tried putting chocolate chips in my classic zucchini bread recipe. My family requested that I leave the recipe alone and not add chips anymore. Not a hit at my house. They also had me remove the nuts several years before that! But we all LOVE zucchini bread!

I make the basic version of this bread each year for Christmas gifts. It is the best zucchini bread I've ever had. Everyone just loves it. Crunchy on the top and moist on the inside. I'll have to try this one too.

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!!
