This delicious Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is made easily in one bowl with just simple, healthy ingredients. It’s a huge hit with my family and friends, even the ones that hate veggies and the ones that eat allllll the gluten and dairy typically.
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
I always associate zucchini bread with the holidays as my mom used to make mini loaves to gift to clients, neighbors, friends, etc. Plus, zucchini is green, and green is festive, right?
Side note, it doesn’t have to be the holiday season for you to make this recipe, of course! It’s perfect year round!
While I’ve made my mom’s passed down recipe countless times, I wanted to tweak it to be fully paleo to better suit my dietary needs. After testing my version, I shared the recipe with both family and friends (including my mom, aunt and grandma!) and everyone gave it raving reviews! It’s safe to say anyone will love this one.

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.

Hi Kayla!! Would you have any recommendations for another flour other than almond flour for this recipe? Thank you!
I have no tested another flour at this time!
I’m wondering about making this with blueberries instead of chocolate chips. Have you tried this?
I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why not! It may make it a little more wet, is the only thing.
What chocolate chips do you use? I struggle finding some I can buy that do not cause me gastrointestinal upset!
I often use Enjoy Life or Hu.
Can I sub all purpose flour for the almond flour?
I have not tried that but typically all purpose is not a 1:1 sub for almond flour.
I subbed unbleached all purpose 1:1 and it came out dry, but my husband still lived it! So I’ll use almond flour next time!
AP flour and almond flour aren’t a 1:1 ratio! Definitely let me know how you like it with the almond flour. 🙂
Coming back to make this a second time! Me and my husband LOVED this recipe. I’ve tried a few different gf and df zucchini breads and this one was by far the best!! 🤍
Ahhh that makes me so happy! It’s a family recipe so I’m thrilled your family loves it too. 🙂
