This incredible Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Bread is perfect for when your garden is exploding with zucchini! I’ve created this easy paleo bread recipe in order to use up all of the zucchini that emerges each summer from my garden and CSA share.
This is a quick and easy recipe that our entire family enjoys. Of course, it’s gluten-free and dairy-free, but the great thing about Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Bread is that it’s so delicious your friends will gobble it up without knowing that it’s good for them!
One of the healthy ingredients that gives this bread a moist, rich texture is coconut oil. Studies have shown that in addition to numerous other health benefits, coconut oil can help our immune systems mount resistance to viruses. Sweetened with honey and a bit of vanilla stevia, this Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Bread makes an excellent snack for kids, and is equally delicious for dessert with a cup of Iced Ginger Chai.
