Tons of zucchini on your hands? Vegan Zucchini Bread tooooo the rescue! It’s tender, it’s moist, and it’sloaded with cozy cinnamon, sweet brown sugar, coconut oil, and of course, plenty of zucchini!

This Vegan Zucchini Bread is a thing of beauty and I’m so happy I have leftovers to munch on this Monday morning. Eating this bread reminds me of when I was growing up and was the pickiest eater. Ever.

Growing up, my grandma made the BEST banana bread, EXPECT for when she added nuts or “green stuff” aka zucchini to the batch. I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I’ve definitely come a long way in terms of being a picky eater, because now? Gimme all the zucchini and don’t even get me started on the time a few weeks ago when I loved the turtle pecan fudge MORE than I liked the plain fudge.

Say whaaat?

While thisVegan Zucchini Bread doesn’t have nuts (WHY did I not think to add toasted walnuts until right this second?!), it DOES have plenty of green stuff, warm cozy cinnamon, and brown sugar and coconut oil, which I think makes this one of the most moist breads I’ve ever baked.

Full of flavor, a tender crumb, and tons of zucchini, this Vegan Zucchini Bread might just be my new favorite loaf.

Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (2)

Before we talk zucchini bread, I need THREEthings from you.

#1: If you didn’t watch the video above, dooooo it, because we make a chia egg – I’ll explain more in a second – and I think that’s really cool.

#2: If you don’t follow us on Snapchat or Instagram yet, dooooo it, because we Snapchat/Instagram story about random fun things like the time this past weekend when I got a DoubleBull’s Eye in a game of darts on my very first throw and Trevor was super impressed! 😉

Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (3)#3: If you don’t like us onFacebook, dooooo it, because we’ve started doing Facebook Live videos, which means you get to watch Trevor and I make a new recipe every week LIVE! You can ask us questions, make comments,die from the cuteness when Teddy inevitablycomes to say hi, etc.😉

Now that we’ve gotten that taken care of, let’s talk about how freaking amazing this Vegan Zucchini Bread is.

You guys.

I love, love, LOVE makingvegan baked goods.

For one, I like that you can eat the batter and not worry about raw eggs. #winning

I also like that there are so many cool “experiments” you can do. For example, my Vegan Banana ChocolateChip Muffins are based on my Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe. Bananas replaced the eggs in the recipe, almond milk was used instead of skim, etc, etc, etc.

The cool experiment I did in THIS recipe, was that I used a chia egg instead of a “regular” chicken egg.

You guys.

Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (4)It’s SO cool.

All you do is combine chia seeds with water, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and then it magically acts like an egg in a recipe.

While the chia egg is sitting, you’ll combine your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.

Then you’ll whisk together your wet ingredients: almond milk, vinegar, orange juice, coconut oil, vanilla, brown sugar, the chia egg, and zucchini.

Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (5)Combine the wet and the dry, pour it into your fave loaf pan, bake it up, and 45 minutes later, you’ve got the BEST Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe.

I love eating this bread for breakfast or as a side to my main dish – which btw – totally counts as a veggie, because, um, helloooo this is ZUCCHINIbread. Riiiight?

Warm. Tender. Cozy. Cinnamon-y. Moist.

Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (6)Perfect on it’s own, or slather on all the vegan melty butter. I just know you’re all going to seriously love this bread.

    Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (18) My first attempt at vegan baking. Very easy recipe. I used frozen zucchinni so squeezed it to get extra fluid out. Also had a almond/coconut milk combo so used it. I was leery with the orange juice and vinegar. I put mine in muffin pans. It made 24. Delicious!

    hello! can I use applesauce instead of coconut oil ?thanks 🙂

    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi Mika! You could maybe replace half of the oil with applesauce, but I wouldn’t do a 100% swap or the bread may be too gummy! 🙂

    The recipe is amazing. I tried it with Zucchini and my husband asked me to make it again! 🙂Just wondering if I can use yellow squash instead of zucchini? Would that make difference in taste?

      Yay!!! Thank you so much! I’m sure it would be just fine 🙂

    Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (20) Wow! Making this a second time in a week. It was so delicious ~ perfectly in-between sweet and savoury (a little on the sweeter side) and so cinnamon-y and wonderful warm for breakfast with vegan butter and a coffee! Thanks for sharing:)

    Can you use coconut flour instead? And do u need to put in the sugar, orange and vinegar?

    Reply

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi Tara! Coconut flour acts much differently, so I wouldn’t recommend it. Yes, you need to use the sugar, orange ,and vinegar. 🙂 I hope that helps!

  9. Jayne

    Looks amazing! You reckon this adapts well into carrot cake?

    • Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy

      Hi Jayne! Thank you so much! I think it would be just fine! 🙂

    Vegan Zucchini Bread Recipe - w/ Chia Egg (22) I LOVE making vegan baked goods too! It’s so much easier than running to the store to buy eggs just for one recipe, although there’s nothing wrong with eggs either. 😉 I also love that you used coconut oil because it gives the bread that subtle and amazingggg coconut flavor! YUM. My favorite way to use up zucchini is to shred it up into some zoodles or saute it with some onions and olive oil!

      Thanks so much Marina! Ugh! Isn’t zucchini the BEST? It’s SO good both savory AND sweet! 🙂 <3
