Are you looking for a new recipe to use your summer zucchini?
This bread is easy to whip up and is on the healthier spectrum of zucchini breads.
The bread is made with whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and coconut oil.
There is no butter in this bread! Don’t worry, you won’t miss it.
The coconut oil gives the bread an incredible flavor.
The Chocolate Coconut Zucchini loaf is also super moist thanks to the squash and Greek yogurt which is surprising with how think the batter appears in the mixing bowl.
The shredded coconut compliments the zucchini nicely and adds a little extra coconut goodness to the loaf. We added 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips for an extra tasty treat.
