You had me at double chocolate, but the addition of zucchini in this is fantastic. I love that it helps keep moisture in the bread and no one knows it's inside!

I love chocolate bread and I think your addition of zucchini is great!  It's a wonderful way to get more vegetables in your diet and eat chocolate at the same time!  I can't wait to make your delightful bread!

I could 100% sympathize with how your morning routine looks! My kids are a little older now- 5 &amp; 10- but I remember the days of feeding, pumping, gettingthe kids ready AND going to work. UGH! Coffee 100% got me thru those days. And if I had time for a latte, espresso or flat white it was a huge bonus. Love this little machine... and your recipe for chocolate chip zucchini bread. YUM

My son definitely love this gorgeous bread!

This might be the best looking zucchini bread I've ever seen!

The BEST Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe! Cinnamon and nutmeg combined with healthy grated zucchini to make an incredible Fall loaf. Oil-Free and delicious!

Best Vegan Zucchini Bread

organic unbleached flour, whole wheat pastry flour, whole wheat flour, flour

brown sugar, packed

flax egg

vanilla

zucchini (about 1 medium sized zucchini)

In a large mixing bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together until everything is thoroughly combined.

Next, in a separate mixing bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until everything &#8220;just&#8221; combined. DO NOT OVERMIX!

Pour your batter into a loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Use a nonstick loaf pan, silicone loaf pan, or line a loaf pan with parchement paper. Baking time will depend on your appliance so be sure and pay attention to your zucchini bread. The bread is done when you can insert a toothpick or knife into the center and it comes out mostly clean with no raw or runny batter.

Remove the zucchini bread from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, remove the bread from the loaf pan and let it sit on a wire rack until it has completely cooled. If you don&#8217;t have a wire rack just use a cutting board. 

Cover and store your leftovers for 3-4 days at room temperature.

I just made this easy and delicious zucchini bread tonight. I didn’t have brown sugar so I substituted with coconut sugar. It turned out great and was surprisingly moist considering there’s no oil which is great since I avoid using oil when cooking at home.

Loved it!!  Easy to make.  Super moist and delicious.
Life is good!!!

Loved this! I love all of your recipes, and you!  Thank you for all you do!  On another note, I miss your old website.....  the new one has so many adds and makes it so very hard to navigate.  Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but it is really frustrating.  Is there a way to block the adds?  They make the page, jump and jump. Just an FYI. I will not stop following you, just hoping something can be done to fix this.

I found this site a few days ago - my hubby and I are looking into a plant-based diet to help decrease inflammation and joint pain in our bodies, etc - I made this zucchini bread and your pumpkin bread and we're enjoying both!  We may tweak the recipes for simply preference on sweetness and spice, but I wanted to say THANK YOU so much for making it easy, I've never even made banana bread before! That may be next on my list!  I look forward to trying many more of your recipes and seeing the encouragement and ideas through your site!

I have to say that I am very impressed with this website.  Thank you for the great recipes and for keeping the ingredients simple!!   You are a blessing to those who are looking to improve their health and happiness!!

This recipe was great! I had a bunch of extra zucchini and wanted to make some bread without having to run out for ingredients! The recipe was simple yet sooooo good! I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour. I may experiment with all whole wheat or oat flour next time :)

Just made this today and it was SOOO good!! My batter was thicker than yours, but so delicious! Saving this recipe forsure!

This bread is excellent! The only adaptation I made were to decrease the flour and applesauce  a bit so I could add some sourdough discard. 

Moist and delicious. Thank you!

If coconut sugar will work, I guess date sugar also is ok?

Another great recipe, we love this zucchini bread.  I’ve been trying a lot of your recipes and they’re all keepers.  Hope you have a cookbook in the near future because I would buy it.

Awesome recipe! I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup (left maple syrup as writ), used half whole wheat flour and half all purpose, it turned out moist and very light considering the WW flour! I brought this on a camping trip along with your chocolate pb hummus as a spread for instant, protein-rich camp breakfasts. :) We LOVED them both, and will be making again! Thanks a bunch!

Holy moly, this knocked my socks off! Like, WOW. This was AMAZING! Also, it made the perfect portion size. A++ for this!

Just so you know, I have made 6 loaves of this zucchini bread in the last 6 weeks....it's just that good!   Thank you for a solid recipe.

This Classic Zucchini Bread is made with fresh or frozen zucchini, melted butter, and just the right amount of sugar. It's a super moist and delicious zucchini bread recipe!

Classic Zucchini Bread Recipe

zucchini, (about one pound)

allspice, (optional (but delicious!))

butter, (melted and cooled)

whole fat plain yogurt

lemon juice

walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan and set aside.

Trim the ends from your zucchini and use the largest holes on your box grater to shred it. You should have about 2 cups of zucchini. Press the zucchini between a few layers of paper towels to absorb extra moisture. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP. You'll end up with gooey bread if you do.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth.

Gently fold in the zucchini and the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to over mix. Add the pecans and gently fold in with a spatula.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan using a spatula and smooth the top.

Bake for 1 hour, until the bread is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool. Let cook for about an hour before serving.

I finally got to make this...oh yum!  I love the allspice in it!!  I didn't add nuts because I wanted him to like it...and he does!!  I got crazy and baked this in my #7 cast iron skillet.  I dropped the temp down 25 degrees and set the timer for 40 minutes to check on it.  The kid called and I was lost in lala land chatting.  Evidently, the timer went off at some point in time, but lucky for me, I smelled the goodness coming from the oven letting me know it was done.  The sides and bottom have a fantastic chew and the inside is perfectly moist. Thanks!  This is a keeper!
