Veganistiese Sjokolade Courgettebrood
Bestanddele
- 1 ½ koppie Gesnipperde Courgette - excess water removed, measured after being shredded and drained
- 1 koppie Meeldoelige meel - (aantekening 1)
- ⅓ koppie Onversoete Kakaopoeier
- ½ teelepel Koeksoda
- ½ teelepel Bakpoeier
- ½ teelepel Sout
- 1 teelepel Kaneel
- ½ koppie Onversoete appelmoes - or mashed bananas
- 4-6 eetlepels Onversoete amandelmelk - by kamertemperatuur
- ¼ koppie Sagte-geur olyfolie - of canola-olie
- ⅔ koppie Ligte Bruin Suiker
- 1 teelepel Vanielje-ekstrak
- ⅓ koppie Suiwelvrye Donker Sjokoladeskyfies
instruksies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking spray or olive oil. Set aside.
- Trim the zucchini ends, keeping their skin on, and shred with the smaller grating side of your grating bow. Place the shredded zucchini in the center of a clean kitchen towel, gather the corners, and wrap to squeeze the zucchini and remove its excess water. Discard the zucchini water. Measure 1 cup and 1/2 cup of packed shredded and drained zucchini. Set aside in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk evenly together: flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk apple sauce, almond milk, olive oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the shredded zucchini.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 2 additions, stirring between each addition to incorporate the dry ingredients gently into the wet ingredients and avoid forming lumps. If the batter is too dry, add more almond milk up to 2 extra tablespoons.
- When the batter is smooth, shiny, and consistent, stir in the dark chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-65 minutes in the center rack of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a little crumb on it.
- Cool down for 3 hours on a cooling rack before slicing. This time prevents the bread from falling apart when sliced and creates an extra fudgy texture.

- Store in a cake box in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in slices for later.

Bestanddele en vervangings
It’s very easy to make this vegan chocolate zucchini bread using only a few basic ingredients. Instead, all you need are natural plant-based ingredients that create the most decadent fudgy zucchini chocolate bread texture.
- Meel – All-purpose flour or spelt flour. For a gluten-free version, use my glutenvrye omskakelingsgids.
- Koeksoda en Bakpoeier – Vir 'n sagte tekstuur.
- Onversoete appelmoes – This is the magic ingredient that replaces the classic eggs and egg yolk used in chocolate bread. Believe me, you don’t want to replace this with eggs, or your bread won’t be as fudgy and moist. In fact, apple sauce combined with cocoa powder and zucchini creates a truly fudgy chocolate zucchini bread.
- zucchini – That’s the main ingredient of this chocolate zucchini bread. Shredded zucchini add the best moist texture to the bread.
- Onversoete Kakaopoeier – This adds a strong chocolate flavor to the bread.
- Sagte Bruinsuiker – of klappersuiker.
- Amandelmelk or any non-dairy milk you love.
- Ligte olyfolie – or canola oil
- Kaneel – vir geur.
- Vanielje-ekstrak
- Donker Sjokoladeskyfies – Or any chocolate chips you like.
- pekanneute – Raw or roasted.
How To Make Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Bread
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil and cover the pan with lightly greased parchment paper. Set aside.
- To prepare the zucchini, first, trim their ends and keep their skin on.
- Next, shred the zucchini with a hand box grater or food processor using the smaller grating blade.
- Finally, place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze them to release and extract excess moisture from the vegetable.
- Discard the zucchini water and set aside the shredded zucchini in a mixing bowl.
- In a large bowl, stir flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk unsweetened apple sauce, canola oil, almond milk, brown sugar, and vanilla. Then, stir in the shredded zucchini.
- Finally, combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients, adding the dry ingredients in 2 additions to avoid lumps.
- Stir until just combined, and shiny chocolate batter forms with no lumps.
- To finish, stir in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips – or 1/4 cup chopped pecans and 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
- Giet die beslag in die voorbereide pan.
- Bake for about 50 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center of the bread comes out with a little crumb on it but not wet.
- Let the bread cool down for 5 minutes in the pan, then pull the hanging pieces of parchment paper to release the vegan chocolate zucchini bread.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Could I make this into muffins please? And can I make this cake without choc chips?
I haven’t try but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work as muffins. Chocolate chips are optional
This bread is fantastic! The only change I made was the oil. I swapped coconut oil for the olive oil. I will be making this again and again!
Dankie!!
Can you use soy milk instead of almond milk?
absoluut
I can’t do gluten so substituted my favorite Gluten free flour and it turned out great!
It is super moist and tasty. I used miniature loaf pans and made 8 smaller ones. This helps with the serving and the slicing issues. Baked for 35 minutes.
Does this double well?
Yes, but if you double it, the best is to cook it in two similar pans. If you instead make it thicker, it will take very long to cook inside and the edges will be overcooked.
Made this today and it was so rich and fudgy. This is a great recipe and I will definitely make it again!!!
Love this recipe !! Thank you
Absoluut ongelooflik!!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe!!!
Cooking time?
Is it 50 minutes to start with?
Yes it is and depending on bread, pan it can take longer. Like for other bread recipes, insert a toothpick in the center of the bread and if it comes moist keep baking but extra 10 minutes burst until just a little crumb stay on the pick. Enjoy
