Zucchini as a Healthy Baking Substitute
Many people already use zucchini as a part of a well-balanced dinner, but baking with zucchini is becoming more and more popular! Once you’ve tried it, it’s hard to turn back. Here’s why I love using zucchini as a baking substitute:
- Adds moisture to recipes (bye-bye, dry baked goods!)
- Easily add more veggies to your daily diet
- Up your fiber intake
- Very low calories, but filling (hello, bread for weight loss)
- Cheap gluten-free alternative
- Lets you bake without the inflammation!

This Chocolate Zucchini Loaf makes for an awesome snack for any time of day. It’s a satisfying pick-me-up that won’t leave you with that weighed-down feeling in your gut that wheat products give. I especially love that I’m tricking my taste buds… never has a vegetable tasted so chocolatey-good.
