I feel like every season has it’s specific and perfect bread. Around the middle of summer, zucchinis are just about everywhere. I always end up with a few needing to be used up in the fridge and have used them in different recipes like zucchini fries , coconut cream zucchini oatmeal, and this roasted lentil potato salad. Today, we’re shredding it to make this chocolate chip zucchini bread, which has become a staple this time of year.
To make this bread dairy-free and egg-free we have done some scientific swaps to make sure that we still end up with a fluffy and flavorful treat that can also be used for a breakfast slice on the go. Regardless how you decide to enjoy this, you will love it!
Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and sugar. Fold in the flax egg, applesauce, peanut butter, apple cider vinegar and grated zucchini until half the batter is mixed.
To the batter, fold in the chocolate chips until you get a well mixed, thick batter. Add the batter to a lined 8-in x 12-in loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until you stick a tooth pick into the center of the loaf and it comes out clean.
To make this bread nut free, feel free to swap the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter, coconut oil, vegan butter or tahini.

The flour is easy to swap with other flours. I would recommend using the Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free 1:1 all purpose flour for the best results.
To prevent it from drying out I recommend covering the bread in some plastic wrap or a large freezer safe bag on the counter for up to 5 days.
Yes! Slice your bread into individual slices and store in an airtight container to place in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, just take your slice and place it into a toaster oven to heat through.

You really don’t taste any zucchini in this bread. Zucchini on it’s own is very bland and will blend into this bread without detection. What the zucchini will do is add more moisture and fluff to the bread. The flavor of the bread really comes from your add ins, which include the cinnamon, vanilla and chocolate chips.
You can enjoy each slice as is or spread with some vegan nutella , creamy peanut butter or chia jam . For more protein as a simple breakfast, serve with a serving of soy milk or pea milk to add 7-9 grams of protein!

Easy Vegan Zucchini Bread With Chocolate Chips
Use a box grater to grate your zucchini. For best results, I like to grate it fairly fine so it blends very well into the bread.
If you have little ones that don’t like seeing the green parts of the zucchini skin, you can peel your zucchini before grating it for this recipe.
Use a smooth and runny nut or seed butter. The consistency will help to take the place of the fat used in traditional loafs, which impacts the texture.
