Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Happy Fridayyy! We’ve got Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread. 😉

I’m leaving for Europe next week and feel like I have 97 things I need to do before then. Really important things, like getting my eyelashes done, tinting my eyebrows, coloring my hair. You know, general maintenance. 🙂

I’ve also been taking classes at SLT for the past three weeks (more on that soon!) to get my body into Capri shape. With that also comes cleaning up my eating a tad more, which for me is typically cutting down on sugar. 

This Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread is the perfect little fix for my sweet tooth when I’m trying to be extra healthy. It’s naturally sweetened with banana and maple syrup, and superrrr chocolatey! Also ridiculously easy to make, which is the only way I bake. 🙂

  • oMG i just baked this today and it is SUPER delicious! So yummy, so chocolate ZUCCHINI amazing! Another awesome recipe!

  • dELICIOUS!!! i THINK i NEED TO SQUEEZE THE ZUCCHINI OUT A LITTLE MORE. mINE STAYED A BIT SOGGY IN THE MIDDLE BUT IT DIDN’T MATTER. THE FLAVOR WAS SUPERB!!! I LOVE EATING IT KNOWING IT IS HEALTHY AND NOT FULL OF BAD INGREDIENTS. iN FACT, i AM EATING IT RIGHT NOW. i WILL DEFINITELY TRY MORE OF YOUR RECIPES!

    • So glad you liked it Tracy! I’m actually go to add the squeezing of the zucchini to my notes as you’re right if you happen to have a watery zucchini it will affect the consistency! Thanks for the feedback!

    • Hi Ana, only almond flour will make this bread a bit too soft! I haven’t tried any other flour combinations so I don’t want to guess since baking is such a tricky science. I’ll look into it though!
