Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 (9x5-inch) loaves (about 32 slices)
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute white-whole wheat flour)
  • ½ cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups sugar or your granulated sweetener of choice
  • 1 cup plain dairy-free yogurt (see post above for options)
  • 3 large eggs or 3 vegan egg replacers (tested with Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice, salt, and baking powder until all clumps of cocoa powder are gone.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, yogurt, eggs or egg replacers, and vanilla with a hand mixer to combine. Stir in the zucchini.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring to combine. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Divide the batter between the loaf pans and level it out.
  6. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pans, before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ice Cream Sandwiches Option: Let a pint of dairy-free ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or so to soften for easier scooping. We like this bread with vanilla, but chocolate might also be delicious! Once the bread is completely cool, cut 2 slices for a sandwich. Top 1 slice with a scoop of ice cream, and gently press down to make and even layer. Top the ice cream with the second slice and enjoy!
