Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Loaf

Summer gardens are in full swing and that means you might be experiencing an abundance in zucchinis! As everyone is trying to gift zucchinis left and right you can be at the ready with this delicious vegan chocolate zucchini loaf. Trust me, this recipe will have your zucchini growing friends asking you how you made this masterpiece!

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make this recipe you’ll need the following:

• zucchinis
• dairy free yogurt
• cocoa powder
• sugar
• baking powder
• corn starch
• flour
• vegan butter
• dairy free chocolate chips

How It Comes Together

I like using my vitamix to blend all of the zucchini so it makes a nice smooth mixture versus shredding it. This step is totally up to you, but if you do do it like this, you’ll want to add the cornstarch in at this step. This helps thicken the mixture a little so your batter isn’t too runny. From there, you can transfer the zucchini into a bowl and add in the rest of the wet/dry ingredients.

This recipe comes together so easily you could make it every week in the summer…or even twice a week! It’s so tasty and sneakily adds some veggies to a deliciously cakey loaf.
