[…] blog that has also been on a zucchini roll. Last week she started out strong with a yodel-like Chocolate Zucchini Roll with Spiced Cream Filling and then hit it out of the park this week with Chipotle Cheddar Zucchini Biscuits. You heard that […]

Right…I love this! I've read the recipe 3 times {no butter/oil}? WOW!! I stopped making my last chocolate zucchini cake as it had way too much butter. Bookmarking this, and loving your guinea pigs! Sounded like fun!
Shelby says
Thats right Deeba – the only place there is butter is in the cream cheese filling…

Mmm! I've always wanted to try a cake roll and never have.
After we moved back near family, they told me they would gladly be my guinea pig at anytime. Nice to have people to bake for–I think my family (husband especially) get tired of all the stuff I make. pbbtttt

I have never tried a cake roll! This looks so delicious Shelby! Have a great weekend!

YES YES YES!!! I have been adding cayenne pepper for awhile. No one can taste it and it adds a little extra something that sets you apart!!! Try 1/8th tsp next time you make oatmeal scotchies… HUGE!!!
Thanks for the validation!
Oh, and your recipe looks delicious!!!

I love that the filling is cream cheese which is my favorite. I used to make different kinds of rolls but not for years. Yours certainly proves that I should start, once again.
If you have a moment, I would be happy if you would link this to Bake with Bizzy.

I definitely think you should be compensated! Haha, maybe a little tip jar to help you pay for the ingredients!? Baking supplies are so expensive. The zucchini roll looks scrumptious – I love your secret ingredient!
