Before I whipped up this healthy paleo zucchini bread recipe, I think you all requested a zucchini bread recipe at least once a week. So I finally got around to it, and WOW why did I wait so long??
I worked to keep the ingredients super simple (and hopefully readily available for you), and even the directions super easy – hello one bowl baking!
This healthy zucchini bread is paleo, refined sugar free, moist and that perfect balance of fluffy but hearty. Take all that and add some luscious dark chocolate and sneaky veggie goodness.
Some tips: you could always swap out the chocolate for chopped nuts, or omit all together. I haven’t tested any flour subs but gluten free, regular, or oat flour probably work well too!
