This Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, made with KAMUT flour, home grown zucchini, and chocolate chips, makes a delicious treat.

I thought I had used the last of my zucchini with the creamy curried zucchini soup, but wouldn’t you know it, they started growing again.  So I decided to continue my zucchini bread experiment using ancient grains.   So far, I’ve made zucchini bread using Einkorn, Spelt, and KAMUT flours.  I’m still perfecting the spelt version, but the Einkorn Zucchini Bread turned out really well.

I’ve made this KAMUT version four times already.  In addition to the using whole grain KAMUT instead of white flour, I used coconut oil, instead of olive oil or vegetable oil, and added some chocolate chips for good measure.

The original recipe is from one of those community cookbooks you can purchase as a fund raiser for your local civic group, church or library. This particular one is from a medical association. Someone gave the book to me years ago.

The original recipe provided a good base for a zucchini bread but it included a bit too much sugar for my palate (and health) so I reduced the amount of sugar.  In addition, since KAMUT soaks up more liquid, I added some almond milk.  You could also use sour cream or regular milk if you prefer.

This bread has a really good flavor. The chocolate chips and spices blend really well together. It tastes great with morning or afternoon coffee or tea.

These loaves taste great slightly warm, but even better the next day.

Since this recipe makes two loaves, you can enjoy one loaf now and save one for later. I froze the other loaf so I can enjoy it when all of my zucchini is gone.

Happy Baking!
