Dairy-Free Chocolate Zucchini Loaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Dairy-Free Chocolate Zucchini Loaf.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together some oat milk and ground flax seeds until they’re perfectly blended.

4. Step 4

   Pop this mixture into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to thicken up nicely.

5. Step 5

   While you wait, take a moment to shred your zucchini, then gently press out any excess moisture—this will help keep your bread from getting soggy.

6. Step 6

   Once your flax mixture is ready, head over to a large mixing bowl and combine it with brown sugar, vegetable oil, honey, and a splash of vanilla extract.

7. Step 7

   Use a hand mixer to beat everything together until it’s smooth and well combined.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to add in the dry ingredients! Gradually mix in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.

9. Step 9

   Stir until just combined, then fold in the shredded zucchini, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.

10. Step 10

    Pour this rich, chocolatey mixture into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time for the magic to happen! Bake your creation in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes.

12. Step 12

    You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

13. Step 13

    Once baked to perfection, let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.

14. Step 14

    After that, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

15. Step 15

    Finally, slice it up and enjoy every delicious bite of your homemade zucchini bread!.
