The Ungourmet's Best Zucchini Bread You Ever Ate (or your money back)...I won't charge you Kim, it's not your fault I'm obsessed with a memory, plus I adapted slightly, so it's not really what you called the best anyway, my fault either way you look at it...
1 stick of butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar ...I used 1/2 brown, 1/2 granulated
3 eggs
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour ...I used AP
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chocolate chips ...and this
1/3 cups chopped toasted hazelnuts ...and this
6 tsp Nutella
Cream your butter and sugar. Add honey (spraying the measuring cup with nonstick spray will help it all to come out!), eggs, vanilla and yogurt, mix well to combine. Stir in dry ingredients.
Fold in shredded zucchini (and other ingredients if you're using).
Divide mixture between 2 greased loaf pans. Dot with Nutella and then swirl it around with a fork.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for ~50-60 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
So yes, it was delicious! But, it's not that recipe. Argh. Although I will definitely keep it around for making until I have found that perfect one. Sorry for no sliced picture, but I carried both of the loaves with me to different places to share and forgot to bring my camera along, too. I absolutely cannot be expected to remember everything. Because whoever expects it, will be disappointed and I hate to disappoint. Kim's page has a picture though, and mine looked pretty close, so go on over there if you are dying to see the insides!
I've been wanting to make this ever since I saw it on her blog.
Oh, and the dorm cafeteria memories... I've got a certain apple pie to talk about, LOL.
You can never go wrong with Nutella!
YUMMMMM. I love zucchini bread!
Sounds perfectly delicious! I need to make this as well!
YUM, now I have another use for Nutella! this looks beautiful.
LOL... my freshman 15 came from the brownies in the dorm
Oh My, that looks sooooo good! I need to find someone with a LOT of zucchini so I can make a LOT of this bread! I know so many people who would really enjoy it, particularly "ME"! Thanks for sharing with us today.
I know what you mean about zucchini bread. I don't know why it isn't talked about more, it's better than banana bread! Nutella sounds like a great twist. I have a couple recipes that call for Nutella. I'm going to have to get some and try this.
I am in the mood to bake today, and this sounds great! Sending you an email about a visit...

Man everywhere everyone seems to be talking about the zucchini bread these days...better mix up some myself, yours looks tasty to me!
Would you believe I've never had zucchini bread? Looks great though! :)
Mmmm...I remember seeing these. I've been wanting to try it, too. But I keep forgetting. Now that you've tried it I think I have to make it now!!!
I love zucchini bread, but even more so with chocolate! I have a recipe coming soon, so be on the lookout!
I can't say I've eveer had zuke bread with Nutella, but it intrigues me.
Man, she's got all the best Nutella ideas. :) Beautiful post!
I have never had zucchini bread. I don't know whats holding me back. I love zucchini. One of these daze...errrr days, I'm gonna have to face the unknown and just do it!
i never make this either, but the nutella may change my mind
mmmm, i remember seeing this on kim's blog too and it looks fabulous, as does yours!
Looks deliscious! I love zucchini bread and will have to try this version.
Looks so yummy!
Zucchini bread is always so nice and moist; now I will have to make yours. Your photos are drool-worthy!
Ok so you had me at Nutella... seriously, I don't do a whipped cream bikini, I make my boyfriend wear a nutella one! (TMI Friday it is!)but then you said Zuccinni and I nearly swooned! I will be making this this weekend... and if it doesn't turn out, I still have the rest of the jar of nutella to eat... so I win either way!
As always... love reading!xoxoxo
My husband hates zucchini bread but is obsessed with nutella. I think this would be a great way to trick him but good!!
:-)
Deeeeeelish!
It certainly looks delicious! Those swirls of nutella say something to may soul. I hope you find the recipe you're looking for.
Dear Girlie,
Oh how I have missed your blog over the summer. You have completely revamped! It looks wonderful! Thanks so much for sticking with me and for your comment on my blog. :)
It looks Delicious!!! Sorry it's not what you were reminiscing about though. :( Oh, and incidentally, the (real) Corningware pyroceram bread pan? AWESOME! I have been trying to find one of those for 6 years now LOL
I love the swirls. What a fantastic combo of flavours. Nutella does go with everything though..
the parts are good so the whole must be better - I will fall in line and make this as well!
Ohhh...that looks wicked good - save a slice for me.
I haven't eaten zucchini bread in such a long time. This looks yummy - love that Nutella!
Zucchini bread that sounds even better than mine. I can't wait to swirl some Nuttella in a loaf the next time I make it.
Hah, I gained the freshman 20 too. Unfortunately not from anything as delicious sounding as that zucchini bread! Honestly, if it were, it'd probably have been worth it!
wow great job so cool how we get inspired by each others blogs, have a great weekend, lovely girlie
Rebecca
I love when I pop over to a blog and see one of my recipes! What a surprise. It always gets me smiling!
Well, darn it! Sorry this one wasn't it. Keep trying, I know you'll find it! ;D
me and first trip to europe and nutella - i have stories
but apparently, so have you
who would have thunk it in zucchini bread? is the search for that special recipe still on then?
It sure looks good--love the addition of the Nutella.
Don't you just hate it when the bar gets created and nothing measures up. I know that feeling.
I love that you are searching for 'the' recipe - I'm sure you'll find some winners in the process!
When I saw this bread on Kims site, I wanted to make it also, thanks for reminding me.Maybe the memories of college daze, ehem, days add to the wonder of that elusive zucchini bread;)
I saw this on The Ungourmet when I was searching for zucchini bread recipes as well but I knew that I should resist buying nutella because it is dangerous for me to have around. I might need to buy some and make this, though. Some rules are made to be broken...
Both yours and the ungourmet's blogs always carry mouth watering recipes. I find this bread recipe so interesting, combining zucchini & nutella!
Zucchini bread is an all-time favorite and I love the ingredients in this version!!! Can't wait to try it!!!
Heather-I am hosting a giveaway for a cookbook-that may interest you. Have you been asked to participate in another cook book read challenge this month?
Your pictures make my mouth water (and I'm typing this with a half-demolished bag of honeyed pecans by my side, so hunger isn't to blame). This looks wonderful!
zucchini bread among my favourite :)
I love your new picture collages, it makes for a quick review of the recipe (I always look at the photos first, then go back and read the recipe).
seriously, anything with nutella is heavenly.
Nutella can take anything to the next level:) Have you tried calling the college and seeing if they would share the recipe? There used to be this cookie my HS cafeteria would make and I couldn't figure out how to make it and finally I called the school and they gave it to me. Now I can have the cookie whenever I want:)
Wow! I am totally making this!! Love it!!
The zucchini loaf looks so cool! Great photo too!

I haven't a real zucchini bread in AGES, now with this Nutella thing going on, I have to ask, why not?
LOL about the school cafeteria memories. I understand totally.
Ahhh yes, I think we all have "that" recipe from college. For me, it was dorm mac and cheese. But looking back I really don't think it was good, I think I was just hungover a lot when I ate it ;)
Even though you didn't master "that" recipe, I still think your zucchini bread looks incredible. Well done!
Thanks for sharing this! I'll have to make this soon..hmmm, maybe today!
Nutmeg Nanny, you know...I've pondered that idea. But I keep t hinking it's been so long (between 12 & 15 yrs ago now) that I think they'll not even serve it anymore. But you're right, you never know, so maybe I'll give it a go!! :D
Yum, I zucchini bread, I hope you'll stop by and share at my recipe exchange:
http://momtrends.blogspot.com/2009/09/friday-food-perfect-and-healthy-blt.html
I wanted to make this too! I saw it on Kim's blog as well. I'm all out of zucchini now, so I'll live vicariously through you. Looks delicious...even if it isn't "that" recipe.
I've never seen a Nutella zucchini bread before, how cool! It sounds so good!
We used to have these really great caramel bars in college that we used to hoard and sneak out of the dining hall and I FINALLY found the recipe a few years later and sent it to everyone! Good luck with your search!
I am angry at you. You really grate the veggies. I am embarrassed to say, I throw them into the food processor. Hmph.
Now, that I am past that, it looks delicious and has to taste that way with all those goodies.
Oh nutella!! I never make zucchini bread, either. But I could go for a piece of yours, right now ;) How about it? I'll bring the coffee, you bring the bread.
It looks great- I've never tried Nutella. This makes me want to give it a go.
I made zucchini bread once and loved it! Even better with nutella swirls! yum!
My sister makes the best zucchini bread with walnuts - though we call it walnut bread because my husband doesn't like zucchini (it works out better that way). I told her not to put in chocolate chips, though if you swirl it with nutella, I think it goes better. This sounds really cool.
mmm yummy, that looks pretty darn good to me! The only thing I really liked in our dining commons was the frozen yogurt machine. That was the only thing that was consistent and you knew was going to be good. I think I lived on that and salads because everything else was ick.
Yum!!
Oh wow that looks so good! What a great way to use zucchini.
I just bookmarked this. I thought I finally had the best zucchini bread recipe, but I'm alway willing to try another! :)
