Easy Vegan Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips [Oil-free]

This vegan zucchini bread tastes so amazing, it can definitely cope with every banana bread recipe! It's so moist, sweet and fluffy, even though there is no additional oil or refined sugars in the recipe. Enjoy and thank me later!

As a recipe creator I have been through so many failed attempts to make a recipe work. Especially when it comes to baking, I usually need a couple of trials until I achieve my desired result. Not with this zucchini bread recipe. One go and it was perfect! Seriously, you have to try it. 

I have to admit, I have never had zucchini bread before. I've definitely had my fair share of banana bread, that's for sure, but zucchini bread has for some reason never crossed my plate.

Even though I am not completely sure how zucchini bread is supposed to taste like, I love this recipe. I am especially super happy with the texture of this vegan zucchini bread. It's so unbelievably moist - even though there is no added oil in this recipe! All the moisture comes from the shredded zucchini and the applesauce. On top of that, this vegan zucchini bread is so light and fluffy. What else could you wish for in terms of texture?

Since zucchinis don't add a lot of flavor (so if you don't like zucchini, there is no reason not to try this recipe!), we have to have some spices like vanilla in the batter. It actually works great with the subtle sweetness of the maple syrup. If you are more into cinnamon, go ahead and add cinnamon. No one is stopping you.

Now let's take it up a notch and add those chocolate chips, 'cause chocolate makes everything better, right? Mix it all up, bake it in the oven - and voilà, here's your perfect vegan zucchini bread.
