    Can you Leave Zucchini Bread on the Counter?

    Personally, I prefer to store mine in the refrigerator because it extends its freshness. But it will be fine left out on the counter for a day or two.

    Can You Freeze Zucchini Bread?

    Absolutely! All you have to do is double wrap it in plastic wrap and slip it down in a freezer safe bag. It should stay fresh for up to a few months.

    Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Variations

    Chocolate Chips: You can use any flavor sugar free chocolate chips you prefer. This recipe calls for semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate or even white chocolate chips.

    Add-ins: If you like a little extra crunch, you can add about ½ of chopped pecan or walnuts to the bread batter. Another great add-in is espresso powder. It only takes about a teaspoon to really intensify the chocolate flavor.

    Optional Toppings: For an extra special touch, you can drizzle the top with sugar free chocolate syrup, or a big dollop of homemade whipped cream.

    Serving Suggestions: If you're serving this zucchini bread for breakfast, you could serve it with a simple side of fresh berries. For an afternoon snack, it's so delicious served with a scoop of this sugar free Coffee Chip Ice Cream or this Keto Vanilla Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. But honestly, I love it just the way it is with a pat of butter!

    Do I Leave the Skin on Zucchini for Zucchini Bread?

    One of the beautiful things about zucchini bread is there is no need to fool with peeling the zucchini first. The skin all but melts into the bread as it bakes since it's so thin.

    Is Chocolate Zucchini Bread Keto?

    Not all zucchini bread can be considered a good option for Keto or low carb diets, as it depends on the ingredients used to make it. Here are some frequently asked questions about why this zucchini bread is a great choice:

    Is Almond Flour Good on Keto?

    It sure is! Made from finely ground almonds, minus the skin, it is almond flour is gluten-free, a great source of fiber and healthy fat and is typically a 1:1 substitution for regular flour.

    Does Zucchini Bread Have Carbs? Is the Zucchini Keto?

    With only 3 net carbs per serving, zucchini is considered very low carb and an excellent choice for those on Keto.

    Are Chocolate Chips Okay for Keto?

    Regular chocolate chips are loaded with sugar so they should be avoided. This recipe uses sugar free chocolate chips that taste every bit as good with the sugary ones!

      Could you use a monk fruit/erythritol blend rather than monk fruit/allulose? This looks delicious and zucchini bread is one of my favourites.
