This Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is moist, fudgy, and delicious! It’s hard to believe there is zucchini in this bread!
Summertime brings an abundance of zucchini around here. This year I did not grow my own as I had to kill my crop due to that dang squash bug! However, when zucchini is in the season it’s rather cheap. I love this vegetable for so many reasons but mainly because it can cross over from sweet like in this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread, to savory.
So we are officially in a heatwave down here in southern California, and let me tell you this heat plus being 8 months pregnant is awful! I woke up at 6 am to bake this Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread bread, haha, I had to beat the heat! Trust me this bread is worth it! Its amazing, the entire family loves it! And the best part is it is refined sugar-free and made with healthy zucchini.
How to make Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
This bread comes together so quickly and easily. To keep it gluten-free sub with your favorite 1:1 gluten-free flour. To make the bread vegan use a flax egg ( 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water) in place of the egg.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 5 bread pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
- Start by mixing together in a medium bowl your wet ingredients, zucchini, egg, apple sauce, maples syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Next add in your dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, baking powder,cocoa powder, and stir till just combined.
- Gently fold in your chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter to your prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let bread cool at least 15 minutes before serving, enjoy!
