This has got to be the prettiest thing I’ve ever baked. I love the color of zucchini!
I was originally planning on just making zucchini bread, but while mixing the dough, it came out less moist than expected ['cause so far all my baking doughs came out really moist!] so I decided to break off a chunk and play with it a little! So I ended up making two rolls and a block of bread.
heheh
The bread came out crunchy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside–awesome! And the chocolate-cinnamon mixture I had in the rolls added an extra zing to it. Oh my goodness I want to devour the whole entire box right now!
And I accidentally figured out how to work the close-up function on my ghetto digital camera yesterday while snapping pictures of my dinner:
I should make more veggie desserts! They’re so prettyful~
Recipe time!

You are so creative! I don’t think anyone would have thought of this. And I love how you manage to incorporate all bran into it (which I’m addicted to). Deliious!

Love it, love it, love it!! Chocolate-Zucchini bread rolls sound like the perfect treat. Yum!

haha, you are right; volunteering as a dog-walker IS a workout in itself. The big dogs end up walking me!
Wow, you are seriously creative! I want to try this roll!
hello! i tried making this today and i loved the texture! but i have a question about making them into rolls… how?
do you first bake it into strips and then roll them up
or cut it when its raw into strips, roll it and then bake?
i tried rolling it up when it was raw.. and i failed :< it turned into one log like glob..and not a roll.. and then i cut it ;o
thank you!
Hey Rika,
I made the rolls by cuttig them into strips first, then bake
And don’t worry–it took a few tries for me before I got them into rolls as well! XD Good luck!
