OMG- this is the most chocolatey, delicious bread, errr…. cake? whatever it it is, I want to eat all of it!

 

I have had Chocolate Zucchini Bread on the brain for a couple of weeks now. Two of my friends have made rather epic looking versions lately and I couldn’t seems to get them out of my head! So Saturday I decided I would make my own version (vegan and gluten-free.)

Turns out that was a really good choice.

I did make a loaf, and it turned out amazing. And I was not even doing it for the blog- I was just doing it for the family for the long weekend- but I did happen to post a picture of it on insta-stories. And the response on DM was overwhelming! Apparently quite a lot of people wanted to the recipe, so I made this video with Inspo!

So I made another batch so that I could take a picture for you- but in typical impatient Heather fashion, I didn’t let the bread cool all the way (you should do that) before cutting it up- so it doesn’t look like a million bucks in these pictures. And also- it’s just really brown!

But I swear to you it tastes like a million bucks! And calling chocolate zucchini bread, may be a wee-tad-bit misleading, because it tastes more like cake. The best chocolate cake you have ever had. But if we call it bread then that means we can eat it for breakfast.
