Baking zucchini bread is a great way to make the most of the bountiful summer harvest in a tasty and varied way! This moist zucchini bread is the perfect quick alternative to traditional yeast bread. Zucchini adds natural moisture and structure to baked goods, yielding an incredibly tender crumb and stays fresh for a long time. A hearty treat that’s ideal for breakfast or as a snack between meals. Instead of cranberries and chocolate, you can also use other add-ins like nuts and raisins for the loaf.

 
  • 1 Large zucchini, grated (300-350 g)
  • 100 g Coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 100 g Xylitol (or caster sugar)
  • 2 Eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla powder (or vanilla bean paste)
  • 220 g White spelt flour
  • 1½ tsp Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 100 g Dried cranberries
  • 80 g Chocolate, chopped
  1. Lightly grease a 20-22 cm loaf tin and line with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  2. Tip the grated zucchini into a clean tea towel and squeeze out all the excess water. Set aside. Whisk together the coconut oil, xylitorl or sugar, eggs and vanilla powder. Add the spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and fold everything together before stirring in the grated courgette, dried cranberries and chocolate.
  3. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined, then spread into the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes-1 hour until risen, golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Tender, chocolatey, fruity, the kind of loaf you slice for breakfast and somehow keep snacking on all day.

Zucchini bread is my favorite. I never tried it with cranberries, but I bet they're a tasty addition. I can't wait for some zucchini in the garden so I can bake some.
