Vegan Zucchini Bread

This Vegan Zucchini Bread is a moist loaf made from almond and oat flours combined with grated zucchini, mashed banana, and avocado for moisture and texture. Flaxseed acts as an egg substitute, providing structure. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, it includes vegan chocolate chips for a touch of indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour packed
  • ¼ cup oat flour
  • 1 cup zucchini squeezed firmly to release water, grated
  • 1 Flaxseed 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2 ½ Tablespoons water, used as egg substitute
  • ¼ cup avocado about ½ an avocado, mashed
  • 1 medium banana mashed, about ⅓ cup
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping, vegan

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
  2. Grate zucchini, wrap in paper towels or a dish towel and squeeze hard to release as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
  3. Whisk together ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl to make the flax egg. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl add dry ingredients (almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt) and stir to combine.
  5. In another bowl, combine wet ingredients (zucchini, flax egg, avocado, banana, maple syrup and vanilla).
  6. Add wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined.
  7. Gently stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and top with additional chocolate chips for decoration (this step is optional, but I like to make it look pretty.)
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Edges and top of the loaf will be a dark, golden brown color. Let cool completely, slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • This bread was tested only with almond and oat flour, so substituting flours is not recommended.
  • If not vegan, the flax egg can be replaced with a regular egg or try a whole wheat version from another recipe.
  • Maple syrup adds sweetness along with banana; to reduce sugar, omit maple syrup and chocolate chips.
  • Chocolate chips can be replaced with dried fruit or chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
