How to Prepare Chocolate Zucchini Bread [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with oil.
  2. In a small bowl, make the flax egg by stirring the flax and water together. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine combine milk with vinegar, stir. This will curdle to create butter milk after 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the flour, cacao, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt, and sugar together. Set aside.
  5. Whisk the "buttermilk" with the flax egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Then, add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Fold using a rubber spatula until the ingredients are 75 percent combined. Add the chocolate chips, dried cherries or cranberries, and toasted walnuts. Continue to fold the batter only until all of the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to over mix.
  6. Pour batter into pre-greased loaf pan and top with dried fruit and walnuts. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting (no matter how temping it may be).
