Zucchini loaf chocolate & Coconut heaven in a loaf

08/19/14 | Eat

 

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.

    I’ve been craving zucchini bread and just happened across your recipe on Pinterest. And, yesterday was the first day I ever baked with coconut oil – made terrific chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. So, that means I have the coconut oil, the chips, the coconut, well, you get it, I’m almost on my way to making this. Thanks for sharing, I wish it was in the oven right now!

    I just made homemade Chocolate Zucchini bread the other day for the first time ever by myself. AND the whole family LOVED it. I was extremely proud of myself. Now I want to try this. Coconut is one of my hubby’s favorites.

    I just put two loaves of zucchini bread in the oven! Mine have chopped pecans and crushed pineapple and raisins in it…but, next time around I’m going to try your version! Coconut and chocolate chips sound like a great combo!

    I love coconut and I love that I can rationalize this as a healthy snack because of the zucchini!
