I made this recipe into mini muffins. They were like little chocolate cake bites. Yum!!! They were even more moist the day after. Thanks for a great recipe. I made these again and substituted the chocolate chips and have to say they become very dangerous w/ that little adjustment. :) Also on my second attempt I made them in advance and froze them to make a quick addition for breakfast Christmas morning. They freeze great!!!

I am happy to say that this recipe looked familiar to me although it has been a few years since I made this.(Never mind how many years.lol;-)The only difference was that my recipe called for 2 tsp. grated orange peel,which I left out.So I feel that I can honestly rate and review this recipe.And it is a good one easy to make and a nice change from the usual Zucchini spice bread version.
