Chocolate Zucchini Bread (low FODMAP, gluten-free, lactose-free)
This recipe for chocolate zucchini bread isn’t my own, but it is so good that I had to share it with you! I made it for the second time last week and I can’t get enough of it. It is so soft and gooey and with every bite you taste chocolate! It is a delicious healthier snack. It is very much like banana bread but then with some added zucchini. I found out that adding zucchini makes bakes perfectly gooey. A while ago I made zucchini carrot muffins and they were the same, so soft! I love baking with zucchini!
If you prefer a little less chocolate in your zucchini bread, you can leave the chocolate chips out or add a bit less. You can also replace them by nuts or seeds.

Could you use something else instead of bananas?
This blog has some good substitutes for bananas in baking: https://www.thespruceeats.com/banana-equivalents-1807459. I have not tried them myself though!
This is sooooo good. Thank you for posting this. I have made it several times already. It is so moist and delicious. Big hit with my family.
So happy to hear that!
What can I use as a substitute for vinegar?
What is the reason you want to substitute it?
This was absolute perfect timing! I had a garden overflowing with zucchini, and this was the perfect way to use up some of it! Yum!
I have a few people in my family with eating issues. They absolutely love this bread. It’s easy for me to make and delicious!
Second year making this recipe! It’s so delicious! Not complicated and leaves you with a nice rich, chocolately, moist bread! The zucchini makes it feel healthy…highly recommend

This was SO delicious!! I followed your exact recipe and I don’t think it was too thick at all. It was nice and creamy and the flavors were great! My husband ate two bowlfuls and wanted more. We had plenty for leftovers. Thanks–this is a keeper.
Happy to hear that!
I love chocolate!
