If you’re unfamiliar with this recipe I’m sure you’re asking yourself, are we seriously are we making bread out of zucchini? And the answer is yes we are – and you’re going to love it. For the record, I was just introduced to zucchini bread, and I’ve been hooked since my first bite. Don’t believe me? Wait until you taste it for yourself.
So how did I even fall into the deep recipe land of zucchini bread? Well, my garden is the culprit. I had two zucchini plants and they produced more zucchini than I could keep up with. I posted my harvest on Instagram and several people mentioned making bread with it. So I went to the internet, found several recipes, and found it was easy to make.

Here’s How You Make It

STEP 1: Clean, slice, and remove the seeds from the zucchini. After you clean the zucchini be sure to pat it dry with a paper towel. Don’t overdo it as you don’t want to completely rid it of moisture.
Step 2: Put the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Put it to the side.
STEP 3: Shred the zucchini then add it to the coconut oil, egg, brown sugar, and salt. Mix it together.
Step 4: Now pour your freshly beaten zucchini mix into the bowl with your flour mix ingredients. Mix it.
Step 5: Measure out your dried cranberries and chocolates then add them to the mixture. Beat the mixture again gently a couple of times. You want to chop up the dried cranberries and chocolates some so they’re not whole but you also don’t want them smoothed out either.
Step 6: Grease your pan(s). Get every inch of the pan you don’t want the bread sticking. Add the mixture and bake for 55 minutes.
Ta-Da!! I’m so glad I made two loaves because when I tell you we devoured these loaves. They didn’t last two days. we kept nibbling until it was all gone.
How Does It Taste
This recipe tastes like a perfect autumn/winter day. The mix of the subtle coconut oil and the white chocolate instantly bring this bread up a major-notch. The cinnamon and brown sugar make it perfectly sweet. When making this the first time I just knew it would be too sweet but it came out perfectly! And the kids loved it too.
You can enjoy this zucchini bread after a meal, as a meal, or with your favorite warm beverage! For your kids, this is a great way to get them to eat veggies without them even know it. They’ll think they’re eating a sweet piece of plain ole bread when in fact it’s veggie-based.
