Summer is zucchini season and zucchini bread is a my favorite thing to bake when the gardens are overflowing with this summer vegetable. I think this zucchini bread is somewhat special since it\u2019s made with mild, neutral-tasting coconut oil, pure Canadian maple syrup (refined sugar-free!) and a mix of whole grain and white spelt flour — plus dark chocolate chunks from my favourite chocolate bar! And it\u2019s moist and flavourful which gives it that that cake like appeal, while still being on the healthier side.<\/p>\n

Baking with psyllium husk powder<\/h2>\n

Everyone has their own version of zucchini bread. Some more like a cake other more like a bread. This one I would say is somewhere in between. For this version, I didn\u2019t press out all the moisture of the zucchini, but instead added 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder, which like chia seeds<\/a>, has the ability to soak up water. This helps ensure a fail safe zucchini bread, improves the texture and also has the benefit that it is super good for you. Psyllium husk powder is a rich source of soluble fiber and promotes digestive health.<\/p>\n

\nAny easy zucchini bread recipe<\/h2>\n

This recipe is what I would call a \u201cquick-bread\u201d recipe. There is no special equipment needed, just a couple of mixing bowls, a whisk and a spatula. And of course, a loaf pan. Yes, this tried-and-true zucchini bread recipe couldn\u2019t be easier; you don\u2019t need a mixer \u2014 of any kind! It takes literally a minute, with no muscle power, to mix everything together.<\/p>\n

Choosing the best loaf pan<\/h2>\n

Speaking of the loaf pan, I highly recommend using a 25 x 11 cm gourmet loaf pan<\/a> for this recipe. It\u2019ll give you a nice looking loaf. But I have also made this recipe a number of time using a regular bread loaf pan which is 30 cm long. With this you get a long and not as high rising result.<\/p>\n

My family and I really love this zucchini bread recipe, and I am hoping you will too!
