Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread with Caramel Banana Sauce

on


I harvested a huge amount of zucchinis in my backyard vegetable garden. Looking for ideas to use all my zucchinis in many different ways. I obsessed with using zucchinis in my cooking almost every day.
  
This is the kind of Vegan Chocolate Bread that is moist, rich, fudgy, and at the same time tasty. The recipe is super easy to make. I served with caramel banana Sauce.

If you are not a fan of zucchinis yet, this recipe will change your mind and one more way for me to use zucchinis.  

You will never feel that it is a diet dessert. It will have all the yumminess as a dessert should have to be with the caramel banana sauce it is so much yum yum. It is a kind of dessert to lick the plates.
