Chocolate Coconut Zucchini Bread

This chocolate coconut zucchini bread smells so amazing when it is baking. Unrefined coconut oil is really great for baking because it has a delicious coconut smell and flavor. It adds just enough coconut flavor to the bread without being overwhelming. Coconut and chocolate are two flavors that go really well together. I have a hard time getting my six year old to eat vegetables and he was concerned that this bread would taste like zucchini. I did convince him to try it and after he ate the whole slice of bread said, “If you want me to eat zucchini, you just need to serve it like this!” So, this Chocolate Coconut Zucchini Bread is definitely kid approved if he will eat it.
