This moist, chocolatey zucchini bread is the perfect sweet snack which tastes like dessert but is made with vegetables! The zucchini is not only good for you but also helps to add moisture to the loaf. I love to enjoy this with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast, but it also makes a great snack or better-for-you dessert.

Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Servings 12 Slices (1 - 5” x 9”/13cm x 23cm loaf)
Calories 207kcal
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (225g)
- 1 tsp Baking powder (4g)
- 1 tsp Baking soda (4g)
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon (2g)
- 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg (1g)
- 4 tbsp Cocoa powder (20g)
- ½ tsp Salt (3g)
- 1 Cup Light brown sugar (205g) packed
- 2/3 Cup Oat milk (156ml)
- 1/2 Cup Neutral oil (120ml)
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar (15ml)
- 8 Oz Shredded zucchini (225g) from 1 large or 2 small, about 2 cups
- 1/2 Cup Dark chocolate chips (90g) or chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/175 C. Grease well or line a 5” x 9”/13cm x 23cm loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Shred the zucchini and pat to remove excess moisture. No need to squeeze, just blot with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, and spices. Stir to evenly distribute.
- In a large bowl, combine oil, oat milk, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour blend and stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.
- Scrape into the prepared pan immediately. Do not allow mixture to sit once zucchini has been added as the flour and sugar will draw moisture out of it and make the bread wet and dense.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack and cooling for another 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before serving. Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
