This rich, moist, chocolaty bread can be a special treat for breakfast or served as a dessert, and it’s packed with a veggie at the same time! It’s vegan with no eggs or dairy milk, using unsweetened applesauce and nut milk instead!

Ingredients
Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings
-
¾ cup cane sugar
-
¾ cup almond milk
-
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
-
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
⅓ cup cocoa powder
-
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
-
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
-
1 cup grated zucchini
-
½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
-
Beat cane sugar, almond milk, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer.
-
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, using an electric mixer, until it is all mixed well together. Stir in the zucchini and 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
-
Pour batter into the prepared bread pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Once removed from the pan, allow to cool completely before slicing.
Cook’s Notes:
My grated zucchini was drained and lightly packed.
You may use a sweetener like coconut sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, etc. in place of the organic cane sugar. You may use vegetable oil in place of coconut oil. Any non-dairy milk may be used in place of almond milk. Using cinnamon is optional.
