Is chocolate zucchini bread healthy

Many zucchini bread recipes are actually not a healthy snack. The recipes might have a vegetable in them but they are also loaded with sugar and processed white flour. This Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Bread is good for you though!

zucchini
quinoa flour
unsweetened applesauce
almond milk
dark cocoa powder
Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener (0 carbs and calories)
Dark Chocolate Chips by Lily’s ( 0 calories, stevia-sweetened)

I have substituted many of the unhealthy ingredients for something better for you. For example, instead of oil I used unsweetened applesauce and switched out white processed flour for quinoa flour. The sweetness comes from my new favorite sweetener called Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener. It has zero calories, glycemic, and carbs. It gets its sweetness from erythritol and monk fruit.

I have also discovered Lilly’s Dark Chocolate Chips that I sprinkled on the top of this zucchini bread before baking. They are also 0 calories and sweetened with stevia.

Do you peel zucchini for bread?

I do not peel my zucchini before grating, the peels are good for you. I use a large hole grader and do not salt, drain or squeeze out any of the water.

How do you fix soggy zucchini bread?

If your zucchini seems particularly juicy slightly squees with a paper towel before adding to the recipe. If after baking your bread seems soggy heat your oven back up to 350 degrees and return the bread into the oven. Bake for 10 to 20 more minutes, checking with a toothpick every so often to see if the bread stops sticking to the toothpick. If you are worried your bread will brown to much cover the pan lightly with a piece of foil.
