Lots of readers tell me that they turn this into a one-bowl recipe. They simply mix up all the ingredients in the food processor, then grate the zucchini right into the batter.

Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

One of the healthy ingredients that gives this bread a moist, rich texture is coconut oil. Studies have shown that in addition to numerous other health benefits, coconut oil can help our immune systems mount resistance to viruses.

  1. I love this recipe! So many of your recipes are a staple in our home, thank you! I like the consistency better when I divide evenly into 12 silicone muffin molds. It also freezes better. I discovered today, (unable to grate zucchini due to tennis elbow) that you can mix everything according to your directions, then carefully swap out the mixing blade for the grater attachment. I transferred to a bowl and folded the zucchini in by hand. Thanks again!

  2. This chocolate zucchini bread is super easy to make and is unbelievably delicious and moist!! It remains moist until the last bite, but it doesn’t take very long for that final bite to come around because EVERYONE, Celiac or not, just loves it.
    My taste buds remember the delicious flavor so often that I end up making it…often :-) You will never regret trying this recipe! (Hint: buy a good quality cocoa/cacao powder)

    BTW: As a person with multiple food allergies, Elana’s recipes are a godsend. I can eat every recipe in her Almond Flour Cookbook and non-Celiac friends enjoy them just as much. Other Celiac/GF recipes use multiple flours with multiple additives, some of which I can’t tolerate. So…..Thank You So Much, Elana!!

  4. Hi, Elana! I’ve made so many of your recipes over the years and always enjoy. Just wanted to say this is my new go-to quick bread. SO delicious. Everyone in my family really loves it. I do leave out the Stevia, because for me, the honey is plenty sweet! It really is WONDERFUL. My kids even love it, and they are big on chocolate desserts!
