Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Rich, fudgy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips, this loaf is the kind of bake that disappears fast — especially when you're feeding a crowd, since it yields a generous 10 slices. Two cups of shredded zucchini keep every slice incredibly moist without adding any detectable vegetable flavor, and squeezing out the excess moisture before folding it in is the key step that keeps the crumb tender rather than dense. Instead of eggs, a flax egg made from ground flaxseed and water does all the binding work, and melted coconut oil plus plant-based milk round out the wet ingredients so the texture is indistinguishable from a classic quick bread. Unsweetened cocoa powder and a full teaspoon of cinnamon give the loaf a deep, warming flavor that makes it feel almost indulgent. Vegan chocolate chips are folded into the batter and scattered on top, so you get pockets of chocolate in every bite along with a slightly crisp, chip-studded crust. It bakes low and slow at 350°F for up to 65 minutes, and the parchment sling makes lifting it out of the pan completely foolproof. Let it cool before slicing and you'll be rewarded with clean, beautiful slices that hold together perfectly.
