Not on this one, but in zucchini bread in the past. Mine had been accidentally put in the freezer instead of the fridge, so they were nothing but mush. The only things I could use them for were smoothies and baked goods. And yes, it came out fine
It would be really helpful to know what a "medium" zucchini weighs; considering that they are almost all water, it could make a big difference in the outcome of the recipe.
I replaced the butter with half an avocado and half the flour with a can of black beans, plus dates and prunes instead of the sugar. It came out with a fudgy texture like some people want. I did need to double the baking soda though. I didn’t bother with chocolate chips.
