Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I love delicious recipes that have sneaky veggies!

This Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread recipe is perfect for sneaking vegetables into. The dark chocolate color masks any pops of green that might throw off skeptical kiddos. It’s a perfect recipe to use up any frozen zucchini you might have in the freezer too. (Other zuccchini recipes on our site include Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies, Zucchini Flaxseed Muffins, and Double Chocolate Zucchini Waffles!)

Is Chocolate Zucchini Bread Healthy?

I guess it depends on how you define, “healthy.” It’s for sure healthier than the original recipe!

If you’re curious, here are some swaps I made:

• Subbed 1/2 cup of white flour with wheat flour
• Subbed melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil
• Reduced the amount of sugar

In recipes like this, I usually swap some flour out for ground flax seed to add some nutrition but I didn’t do that this time. (Here is a post on why you should eat flax seed if you’re curious.)

Regardless of my healthy substitutions, my family really liked the bread! I initially thought I made a mistake by reducing the sugar by half, but it turns out that the chocolate chips add plenty of sweetness.

Pro Tip: If you think you kiddos will sniff out the shredded zucchini, just throw it in a food processor to blend it up more. I often do this when sneaking fruits and vegetables into my kids favorite recipes.

How to Freeze Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Freezing Instructions: After bread is baked, let cool completely. Slice the bread but keep it in the form of a loaf. By slicing it, you can thaw out one or two pieces instead of the whole loaf. Wrap loaf in saran wrap and then in foil. (I usually skip saran wrap but I’ve heard it helps it to save longer). Simply thaw out the bread when you’re ready to eat some!
