Do You Peel Zucchini?
A popular question when using Zucchini in a recipe is do you peel the Zucchini? The quick answer is no. Do not peel the Zucchini just give it a quick rinse, dry it, cut off the ends, then shred. Zucchini is mostly water so it will melt into your recipe, which is also why it is important to include other ingredients that becomes the dominant flavor over the Zucchini. I have made Healthy Zucchini Bread with 2 ½ cups shredded Zucchini and 2 cups with the latter being slightly less moist but not dry either.

Selecting a Coconut Oil
For this recipe my preference is unrefined coconut oil since it is a less processed form of coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil is made from coconut meat that goes through a quicker process than refined coconut retaining the coconut flavor. To learn more about coconut oil refer to this article. Then you can make your own decision on what type of Coconut Oil to use in this Healthy Zucchini Bread recipe.

Healthy Zucchini Bread Preparation
Get ready to make a super easy, super quick bread! Start with measuring and sifting the dry ingredients twice to remove any lumps and combine the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Grate 2 ½ cups Zucchini which takes very little time due to the water volume. In a smaller bowl mix together the wet ingredients and melt the coconut oil. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and then blend in the grated Zucchini and chopped walnuts. It would also be fun to stir in ½ cup of dark chocolate chips! Pour into two prepared baking pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 30-minutes. Remove from the oven and cool until you can handle the pans to remove the Healthy Zucchini Bread. Be sure to enjoy a warm slice!

Beachbody 21-Day Fix
Healthy Zucchini Bread recipe is part of the 21-Day Fix plan as a snack!!

Once the Healthy Zucchini Bread has cooled cut it into 20-slices (the approved serving) and wrap tightly with Saran Wrap, place in a freezer friendly bag and place in the freezer.

Love zucchini bread. Knowing your recipes, this version should be awesome. Many thanx, Bernice.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot! With my leftover Zucchini I made the best ever cookies. Will post next week. 🍽
Love Zucchini Bread!
I never had it until I started 21 day fix and needed healthy snacks. Of course I like mine with butter but then again I consider butter a good fat. 💕
Butter is all I use too! No margarine or fake fat!
Funny how one time the media reported margarine was better for you than butter! Now we find out low fat, substitutes are not healthy for you! I love a good butter. In particular Kerrygold butter.
Boy, what’s not to like about this bread. We never peel our zukes as all the joy in those peelings. I’m saving this on on my “Zucchini is my Hero” board for when we start picking local zucchini. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the recipe. I am glad to hear you do not peel Zucchini either! 💕 Makes the bread look so nice with the green peels.
Looks so good! Great recipe 🙂♥️
Thank you! It is so easy to make and is delicious.
I like how this is a healthier version of zucchini bread. It sounds wonderful.
Thank you Sheryl. I started making it when I was doing the 21 day fix challenge. It is super moist and delicious. 🍽
What a delicious combination. 🍃🍎
Thank you! We love this bread with freezing the second loaf for later.
i’m a big fan of zucchini bread–thanks for sharing this healthy version!
I just love this version of Zucchini Bread! And I had extra Zucchini so I made some cookies that I just posted the recipe. Enjoy!

Lol. It is goooood .. I am okay I guess. You?
Doing good. Almost the weekend! 💕
Yea LOL… I relaxed today lol been so busy around this place LOL yesterday i cleaned mini blinds, cleaned house, and windows LOL
Oh that’s an interesting recipe! I love banana bread but I haven’t heard of zucchini bread before. Gotta give it a try one day!
I use coconut oil for almost everything that involves fat (and definitely everything that involves frying) and I always use the unrefined version. I don’t mind the delicate scent of coconut in my meals, sweet or savoury – doesn’t matter!
The Zucchini bread is awesome and is moist. It is great with or without butter. I too love using coconut oil. Let me know if you try the recipe. 🍽 💕
LOVE THE COLOUR, MAKES IT LOOK INVITING, CHINA
Thank you! It is delicious. It is moist with the Zucchini. 💕
Love the healthy version of a Zucchini Bread! Will definitely make it again.
Thank you for your feedback and rating!
Looks delicious…will give it a try. I went back to using butter too…
One of my favorite recipes!! I love butter!! 💕
