I do a lot of meal planning and scheduling out our meals. Since I work full-time, it helps me to plan to plan out meals ahead of time, especially for the days when I know there will be more going on.Not only does it help me stay organized, but it also helps cut down on our grocery expenses and leftover food waste.
So, there were a couple recipes that I planned to make and a few that I needed to work on. They didn’t happen. Instead, I made this Cinnamon Chip Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread.
Even though I hate to go off plan, this time it was a good decision.This Cinnamon Chip Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread is moist and tender without the greasy heaviness that so many zucchini breads suffer from. It isn’t super sweet but has just enough sweetness to make it tasty.
So, it’s great as a breakfast or snack! And if you’re looking for a sweeter zucchini recipe, check out my zucchini cake recipe.

When you say sour milk, do you mean old milk?? Sorry, I’m a complete novice! I was going to try this with oat milk because I don’t do dairy milks.. hmmm.. it’s -40 outside too, so I’m not going out there! Lol, wish me luck!
Kate says
No, sour milk is milk that’s been soured with the addition of vinegar. You can use oat milk. You’ll just want to add a little bit of vinegar to sour the milk. Hope that helps!
Linda says
Great recipe! Made this with some extra zucchini and it’s really good! Thanks for the recipe!

Could you substitute 1/4 cup coconut oil for the vegetable oil? I love zucchini bread, but I’ve never made it myself before!
Kate says
I think so! I sub coconut oil for vegetable oil in baked goods pretty regularly, and it has always worked well. Good luck! =)
Carolina says
This recipe sounds divine! Do you have a buttermilk substitute?
thanks

Thank you! You could use sour milk instead. Just add a scant teaspoon (about 3/4 tsp.) white vinegar or lemon juice to a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Fill the rest with milk, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
