So many things to love about this Chocolate Zucchini Bread! It has less sugar than most and is full of mashed banana and grated zucchini! But you’d never know! The wonderful mixture of brown sugar, chocolate chips, and cocoa gives this easy quick-bread the most delicious flavor.
For the veggies, you can use grated zucchini (or carrot or even apple), depending what you have on hand. In addition to some extra vitamins and fiber, the grated produce adds additional sweetness and moisture.
For the flour, in this recipe, I use all-purpose flour but you can sub in gluten-free flour cup for cup. Or sometimes I use half oat flour and half gluten-free flour. So, lots of options depending on what you have around the house!
Same for the neutral oil. I use light olive oil, but you can use any neutral-flavored oil (such as refined coconut oil, canola oil, or avocado oil). The oil keeps the bread dairy free, and also gives wonderful moisture without being greasy.
Same for the chocolate chips on top. I love them, but you can skip the extra sugar if you prefer. Or sub in walnuts for a heartier version. However you decide to make this delicious chocolate zucchini bread, I hope you enjoy it!
