Ingredients
Wet:
- 3/4 cup non dairy milk , such as almond milk, soy milk
- 1/3 cup raw sugar or light brown sugar or coconut sugar , 1-2 tbsp more for sweeter
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry:
- 1.5 cups flour (I use 1 cup unbleached all purpose and 1/2 cup wheat)
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp spices like cinnamon , optional
- 1 cup shredded zucchini , squeezed between paper towels to remove excess moisture
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips , plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365 deg F (190 C), line a loaf pan with parchment or grease well. Mix non dairy milk and chia seeds in a large bowl and let sit for 10 mins. Then whisk in the rest of the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Fold in the zucchini. Add the dry ingredients (start with 1.25 cups flour if using more whole grain flour, and more a tbsp at a time), and mix to make a thick muffin like batter. Fold in the chocolate chips (and 1/4 cup chopped nuts if using). ( If omitting the chia seeds from the wet, you will need a bit more flour to get the thick batter).
- Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chocolate chips on top.
- Bake at 365 degrees F (190 deg C) for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out almost clean from the center. (baking time will depend on the moisture content of the zucchini and the batter) . For a gluten-free bread, see GF Zucchini Loaf
Notes
- Variation: Add 1/4 cup shredded coconut to the dry. The coconut adds a darker caramelized color and amazing flavor to the bread.
- Chocolate Zucchini Bread: Use 1 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. If the consistency of the batter is too thin, add a tbsp or so more flour.
- Chia: You can omit the chia seeds from the wet. Add another tbsp of sugar and mix in. You might need a few tbsp more flour.
- Oil-free: Omit oil and use 2 tbsp applesauce. Add 1/4 cup shredded coconut to the dry to help retain moisture.
- Refined sugar free: Omit sugar, add 1/3-1/2 cup chopped dates instead of chocolate
