Chocolate Zucchini Oat Bread. Delicious, moist, chocolatey. Probably the the best chocolate zucchini bread you'll ever make. Perfect for dessert. This recipe is dairy-free and gluten-free.

My chocolate zucchini bread recipe is of my favourite desserts ever. It's so soft and has the perfect texture thanks to the zucchini and chocolate chips.
It's definitely a treat to have that is totally indulgent but you do get some fiber with the added zucchini!
This is chocolate and zucchini loaf is great especially in the colder seasons when I want to the oven to warm up my house. The house also smells amazing after you make this gorgeous dessert bread.
I know that there are so many chocolate zucchini loaf recipes out there! But this one is so moist, delicious, heavenly, healthy and just amazing - you must try it!
This recipe was adapted from Once Upon a Chef's Chocolate Zucchini Bread but I made this chocolate zucchini bread gluten free and dairy free.

Chocolate Zucchini Oat Bread
Ingredients
Wet
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups zucchini shredded
Dry
- 1 ⅔ cups rolled oats gluten free, blended until fine in a blender (this equates to 1 cup of oat flour)
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your loaf pan with coconut oil.
- Melt your coconut oil for 30 seconds in a microwave safe bowl. Add into a large mixing bowl with cane sugar. Mix until well combined. Then add eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a blender, blend oats into a fine flour. Then add cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda and blend until well combined. Add this into your wet batter and mix.
- Mix in shredded zucchini and half of your chocolate chips (saving half to sprinkle on top of your bread). The mixture will be very thick. Pour batter into your pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until your inserted toothpick comes out 90% clean. Any cleaner and the bread will be over cooked and dry.

This looks so delicious, Christie! I love the addition of the zucchini - very clever! And can never resist chocolate 🙂

I love that you've managed to squeeze two cups of zucchini into this lovely chocolatey bread, Christie! As you know, we have so much zucchini in summer, that I am sure this recipe will definitely come in handy. I love the softness and fluffy texture that zucchini gives to all baked goods and this looks absolutely perfect!

This lovely chocolatey bread reminds me of a zucchini bread that I grew up eating. My Mom always made it, and it was the only time I didn't complain about eating zucchini! You can't even taste it, plus it adds so much moisture. Looks amazing, Christie!
Eileen
This was delicious. I will definitely make it again. But 70 minutes was way too long for mine. It was done in about 40 minutes.

Thanks so much for letting me know! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.

That was such a great idea to make your own homemade oat flour... and those dark chocolate chips are simply too good to resist!

Oh my goodness! This is definitely my new favourite recipe. Only change I made was instead of sugar I used honey. It is so moist, and full of flavour!

Made this just like the recipe, except in an individual brownie pan. It only took 18 minutes to cook and they were sooo good. This recipe is a keeper!

Thanks for sharing this recipe, Christie, I'm excited to try it! I have oat flour (already in flour form), and wondered if you knew what the conversion might be in your recipe? So, how many cups of oat flour emerges from 1 and 2/3 cups of rolled oats...?
christieathome
You're welcome Seema! It will equate to 1 cup of oat flour 🙂 Hope this helps!
