Last summer my friend Ted brought me an abundance of zucchini. After putting a lot in the freezer - some mixed with other vegetables for Ratatouille, some prepared to add to other dishes, still other shredded and pre-measured to make out of season zucchini breads, soups, etc. - I baked breads: plain, pineapple with cranberries or raisins, and chocolate. Later in the season I planned to visit my sister Joan who has a vegan daughter so decided to make some regular bread for Joan and create a vegan version for Kimberly. This is the first recipe.

How To Make vegan chocolate zucchini bread

  • Step 1
    Oil and dust loaf pan with flour. Preheat oven 350 degrees
  • Step 2
    Mix shredded zucchini, sugar, oil, and vinegar. Add dry ingredients and mix well. *Add nuts if you are using.
  • Step 3
    Pour mixture into pan and bake approximately 50 minutes. Check with toothpick and if it comes out clean , it is finished. You may need to cook a few more minutes if it isn't. * Another time I doubled the recipe, cutting the sugar a bit and baked in a bundt cake pan. It turned out quite well too.
