Healthy

Very rarely do the words “healthy” and “chocolate” appear in the same sentence. But they certainly do when describing this luscious zucchini bread. There’s no added fat in the recipe and the only sugar comes in the form of natural agave syrup which doesn’t spike your sugar levels.

If you add chopped up chocolate into this zucchini bread. – (which I highly recommend you do — it’s delicious!). You’ll be adding a small amount of fat and sugar. But when you work out how much fat and sugar is in each slice. The numbers are so small that it almost doesn’t even make a difference.

Since there’s no regular wheat flour in the recipe, this vegan chocolate zucchini bread is also gluten-free. So it’s entirely safe for anyone with gluten intolerance or allergy. The regular flour has been replaced with a combination of almond flour and buckwheat, rice, or gluten-free flour, whichever one you prefer.

Because of the almond flour, this vegan chocolate zucchini bread is also lower in carbs than most zucchini breads, making it ideal for anyone following a low-carb diet who still wants to indulge in the occasional treat.

Moist and fluffy

Thanks to its mouth-watering texture, you’d never guess this vegan chocolate bread is gluten free. It’s got the most perfect thin, soft crust on the outside which gives way to a moist, light and fluffy texture on the inside.

Don’t be put off if you’re not keen on zucchini. The veggie is grated up super finely before you add it into the batter. By the time the bread has baked, the zucchini pieces are so tiny and so nestled into the bread that you can hardly tell they’re there at all.

If you give a slice of this bread to someone who doesn’t like zucchini without telling them what’s in it, they’ll gobble it up no questions asked!

Vegan chocolate is becoming more popular, so you should be able to find some at your local grocery store. If you can’t, try searching for vegan chocolate in specialist health food stores or online.
