Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a quick and easy recipe to make for any day. It is freezer-friendly and kids love it and don’t even know they are having veggies!

Today, I am sharing my chocolate zucchini bread. My family loves this bread. My daughter, Deirdre said I should make this bread everyday! This is a very tasty bread that gives you the chocolate fix everyone needs, every now and again, yet it remains low-fat! I make this with a combination of whole wheat and white flour for some added fiber, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and a little applesauce, and a wee bit extra chocolate with chocolate chips!

What is even better is the zucchini, one of my most favorite veggies because its so versatile and if your family are veggie haters, do not tell them, they will not guess that the yummy flavor is zucchini! I use turbinado cane sugar instead of white sugar! I have mentioned before that I do not use sugar often, however, for baking, some form of sweeteners are required. I like natural sweeteners that don’t have a lot of processing done to them like agave, raw honey, and turbinado raw cane sugar. Turbinado is also vegan and gluten-free and it looks like brown sugar. I find this bread to have a nice almost crispy crunch to the outside and a moist interior texture.

Everyday tips

  • Grate the zucchini first and let is sit in a sieve (as in above right photo) to drain fluid then I use the back of a spoon to squeeze the excess water before adding to the other ingedients. This avoids excess moisture in the finished bread. I also wring dry the zucchini in a cotton towel.
  • This is one of those breads that you can feel free to double or triple the recipe and freeze the extra loaves. I would safely say 3 months in the freezer. However, use your judgement on freezing. I label everything with the date and what is going inside the freezer bag. I wrap the loaves in wax paper and aluminum foil and then place in the freezer bag. When I need the loaf, I take it out and place in the fridge overnight and you have a yummy chocolate zucchini bread ready to eat in the morning!
