We all could use ways to get in more veggies every day — and that’s why zucchini bread is one of our favorite treats. No, it’s not the same as munching on a salad, but it does provide some zucchini in every bite, and hey, every bit counts. Plus, summer is the perfect time to make zucchini bread, since the vegetable is so abundant at farmers markets. So grab one (or two, or three) and make one of these sweet zucchini bread recipes. There’s one for you here whether you’re vegan, gluten free, keto, or just prefer a whole-grain treat.

With whole grains from white whole-wheat flour, and no refined sugar, this bread is hearty and healthy. It’s easy to make it dairy free, too, just by using non-dairy milk. Make it as is, or swap the spices, add different nuts, or toss in some chocolate chips.

Flax eggs work as a binder and give body to this fully plant-based bread. Applesauce, maple syrup, and cinnamon all add sweetness, and it has whole wheat flour, so each slice gives you 6 grams of filling fiber.

6. Higher Protein Zucchini Bread

A scoop of protein powder and a sugar-free syrup make this whole-grain bread higher in protein and lower in sugar than many other loaves. Use regular maple syrup instead and swap gluten-free flour for the whole wheat, if you prefer. Feel free to toss in chopped nuts, shaved dark chocolate, or both. The recipe calls for snickerdoodle-flavored protein powder; if you have vanilla, use that instead, and toss in a teaspoon of cinnamon.
