Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    3 cups flour
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1 tablespoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 cups sugar
    1 cup vegetable oil
    3 flax eggs-5 tablespoon ground flax mixed with 10 tablespoon water, nuke 30 seconds, stir, nuke 30 seconds & stir again
    2/3 cup soymilk
    2 cups shredded Zucchini
    1 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
    1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

This is my Nana's recipe that I've converted to a delicious vegan zucchini bread.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 2-9x5" loaf pans with non-stick spray.

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl & mix well. Add vegetable oil & using a fork, stir. It will be dry but stir as well as possible. Then add the flax eggs. Continue to mix. Add soy milk &  Vanilla & stir until well blended.  Add Zucchini, Chocolate Chips & Walnuts & blend them in. The mixture should be nice & smooth, moist looking.

Spoon into loaf pans. Bake 55-60 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove & cool completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap & will keep for days....if your family doesn't gobble it up. Wink

Serves: 2 loaves

Excellent recipe!  My 8-year-old nephew told me it's the best bread he's ever had.  I think it's pretty tasty too.

Everyone LOVED this bread.  I sent a loaf with my husband to work and took the other loaf to work with me.  It's the best!   Smitten

I wonder, have you tried sub the oil with applesauce? Or maybe half oil and half applesauce?

No, sorry I haven't tried subbing applesauce yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I think for the first attempt, I'd do half applesauce & half oil.

If you try it, let us know how it turns out.

MrsBCooks & bhelgoth, I am happy that you like it  w00t

i made this subbing all the oil with applesauce and it turned out awesome!!  the applesauce was sweetened so in turn i reduced the sugar to about 3/4 of a cup and it was great.  i think with all those chocolate chips in there you definitely wouldnt have a bite that wasnt sweet enough.

thanks for this yummy recipe jessesmum!

Halved the recipe and got 12 delicious muffins.  I'm definitely going to be adding this to my "make frequently" list...

This was awesome!  We've been getting a lot of zucchini in the garden, so this was a great way to use some of them!  I halved the oil and put in applesauce for the other half.  I did not microwave the flax eggs-- just mixed the flax with water.  I added macadamia nuts instead of walnuts.   Oh, my goodness.  I want to eat the whole loaf.

So I made this bread almost exactly to the recipe, except that i subbed half of the oil for applesauce, used raw sugar instead of granulated, half whole wheat flour and half all purpose, and added about a cup of chopped pistachios to the mix, then topped the bread with mini choco chips halfway through baking, and it was AWESOME! This bread is so good, my boyfriend said it was as good as his mom's non-vegan zucchini bread, and that woman is a goddess in the kitchen. I also live with three meat-eating country boys who love to hunt on a pretty regular basis (i know, its gross but i don't bug them if they don't bug me) and they DEVOURED an entire pan in about 30 minutes, one said he would pay me rent if i made this bread every day, and none of them had any idea that it was vegan! Thanks for such a great recipe Thumbs Up

I hold my breath every time I see a review for this recipe...will they like it? I am so relieved that you all like it  Smiley Really I am.

LotN, how long did you bake the muffins for?

Thank you Nadiana & katiehohnet for trying the applesauce substitute. Next time I am going to try it with applesauce myself.

This was absolutely delicious!  First time I baked with flax.  I used a food processor, which mashed the zucchini and had lots of juice, but the recipe still came out fantastic (super moist)!  Next I'd like to try as mini muffins as gifts with Christmas cookies.  Could not have been happier with this recipe!   Thanks!!

Wow, this was so good.  I needed only 2 large zucchinis.  I made 12 muffins and one loaf with all this batter.  By the way, the batter was so good right from the mixing bowl.  The muffins were cooked through in 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  The loaf needed more like 55 minutes.  My zucchini hating husband ate them without complaint.  I peeled the skin off the zucchini so he wouldn't know but then told him anyway-the guilt always gets me!  I am not sure if this should be kept in the fridge but seems like they will be best right from oven since they have such a nice crust to them.  Next time i will try the applesauce substitution to reduce calories and fat -I also saw a similar recipe with bananas but I thought it might change flavor.  Thanks, I love finding interesting ways to include more veggies into my family's day.

This is good. I used whole wheat pastry flour, a little less than 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup unsweet. applesauce, less than 1/2 cup oil, Ener-g egg, and a small portion of the giant zucchini that I have (2 cups). I like the addition of the chocolate chips for a different kind of zucchini bread. I think I still prefer the recipe that I use for zucchini bread (not chocolate), but this is tasty, and I'm glad I made it!  Smiley

Oh, I don't know if I have a larger loaf pan, or what...but I did not have enough for 2 loaf pans (plus, I don't HAVE 2 loaf pans..), so I oiled up this other flatter dish to use (both silicone), but I didn't have enough batter left to really fill that..so part of it got too done (was too flat), but most of it turned out great. I would have used a muffin tin for the remainder of batter after the loaf pan...but I had already oiled the other dish. Oh well!

YUM! even my roommate, who is super picky, ate a whole slice!

i made this twice, halved the recipe both times, added 1/2 c. chopped pistachios the second time (which i loved, made it more substantial) but otherwise i made the following changes: 2 parts wheat flour to 1 part white, ener-g instead of flax (=1 egg), applesauce for 1/2 the oil
