This Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Bread is good for breakfast or dessert. It's sweet, moist, and chocolaty. Cinnamon and nutmeg elevate the flavor to another level.
You'd never know there is zucchini in this flavorful bread. It's a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your kiddo's diet.
It's made in one bowl and couldn't be any easier! You can even use a frozen zucchini. I had one I needed to use up and it worked no problem.
Other zucchini recipes to make are my Vegetable Stir-Fry with Zucchini Noodles, Vegan Zucchini Tots, and Vegan Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups.

- It has just the right amount of sweetness. A touch of cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm spice flavor.

🧾 Ingredients
- Vegan butter: I used salted Melt Organic plant-based butter because that is the only vegan butter my grocery store had in stock. You could use your favorite vegan butter.
- Granulated sugar: You may want to check brands that are vegan. I used vegan cane sugar from Costco. Wholesome makes vegan organic cane sugar. There are other brands that have vegan sugar as well.
- Zucchinis: You can a fresh or frozen zucchini. I made it both ways.
- Gluten-free 1:1 baking flour: I used Bob's Red Mill. You could use your favorite gluten-free flour blend. As long as it is a 1:1 baking flour, it should produce good results.
- Cacao powder (or cocoa powder): Adds chocolate flavor.
- Baking soda: Allows the bread to rise.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness and balances flavors. I like to use sea salt.
- Cinnamon and nutmeg: Add a warm spice flavor.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Chocolate chips: Adds more chocolate flavor.
