One of my favorite things about late summer is the produce. If you find yourself with an abundance of summer squash and zucchini, but are also craving a transition to fall and fall baking, then this Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe is the perfect combination of both!

With a sweet, fluffy, delicate flavor, this healthy and gluten-free zucchini bread loaf is truly one of my favorites. It’s great for making in advance and storing for easy snacks and quick breakfasts all week long! It’s also a great way to sneak in some veggies for little ones. I love this wholesome loaf recipe and I know you will too!

Ingredients

Oat Flour – I love using oat flour (opens in a new tab) as a wholesome, gluten-free flour substitution! Oat flour can be purchased at the grocery store, on Amazon, or made at home by simply blending rolled oats (opens in a new tab) into a flour-like texture.

Zucchini – Raw zucchini is one of the core ingredients of this recipe! It adds flavor, texture, and wholesome nutrition.

Flaxseed Egg – The instructions for making the flaxseed egg are listed in the recipe card below, but feel free to learn more about how to make a flaxseed egg here. Another option is to simply use a vegan egg substitution! (opens in a new tab)

Coconut Oil – Feel free to use coconut oil or vegan butter in this recipe!

Agave + Raw Sugar – Agave with a little bit of raw sugar add the perfect amount of sweetness to this Vegan Zucchini Bread.

Toppings – Add your favorite toppings! Here I used coconut flakes (opens in a new tab) and pecans. Walnuts, pistachios, and a sprinkle of brown sugar are all great options, too!

Note: This recipe has been updated since the making of this video and uses raw sugar instead of stevia. However, feel free to use whichever ingredient works best for you!

Making this Vegan Zucchini Bread recipe is incredibly easy! Here’s how to make zucchini bread in 30 minutes:

1. Make the Flaxseed Egg

The first step is to make the flaxseed egg. Simply mix ground flaxseed with water!

2. Blend the Zucchini

Grate or blend the zucchini in a food processor. Pat dry or squeeze dry in a cheese cloth, then add it in the liquid ingredients and mix until smooth!

TIP: I did not peel the zucchini before blending. Personally, I like how it adds color, texture, and nutrition. However, you can if you would prefer!

3. Combine with Ingredients

Combine the dry ingredients and mix with the liquid ingredients.

How to Store Vegan Zucchini Bread

This Vegan Zucchini Bread can last at room temperature for about 2-3 days in an airtight container. It can also last in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or the freezer for up to 3 months!

Tips for Storing

  • Let the zucchini bread cool COMPLETELY before placing it in an airtight container to store.
  • If storing at room temperature or the refrigerator, it’s best to keep the loaf whole to retain moisture.
  • If storing in the freezer, be sure to slice the zucchini bread before storing in individual serving sized containers.
  • To reheat, let the slices thaw out in the refrigerator the night before and then microwave for a few seconds when you are ready to serve.
