We planted quite a bit zucchini this year, and it’s producing like crazy! We’re still getting quite a bit of zucchini from our plants. So, I’m always looking for ways to use this versatile vegetable.

Even though Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is one of my family’s favorites, I don’t make it as regularly since it has more sugar. This healthy zucchini bread recipe has less sugar (and is therefore less sweet), but it’s still tasty.

Because it isn’t as sweet, it makes a great breakfast or snack bread. And, it’s quick to throw together.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two bread loaf pans (I use two small glass loaf pans), and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder, and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix coconut oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla on low speed with an electric mixer. Add grated zucchini and mix gently.
  4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until blended. Add nuts if using, and stir well.
  5. Pour into two greased bread pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
  6. Remove pans from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then remove from pans and cool on a wire rack. After bread has cooled completely, slice and enjoy!

It’s a great quick bread for an afternoon tea time!

  1. This zucchini bread sweetened with honey is perfectly moist and just the right amount of sweet—and it’s a great way to use up extra zucchini!

    1. I’ve never tried using oat flour in this recipe but it probably would work. Let me know if you try it!

    1. I think you probably could. I haven’t tried it myself, so I’m not sure what the cooking time would be, but I would think it should work. If you try it, let me know how they turn out!
