Vegan Zucchini Cheddar Bread (Savory & Moist)
This Vegan Zucchini Cheddar Bread is a savory loaf with shredded zucchini in the crumb and a golden dairy-free cheddar top. No eggs. No dairy. It slices moist if you squeeze the zucchini first, then bake until the top browns.
I love a little cheese in the batter and the rest on top so the crust looks finished. Don’t skip the rest or the first slice crumbles.

The Secret to a Moist Slice That Still Holds
Grate the zucchini and squeeze it dry. Fold it in at the end so you don’t overmix. A cheddar-style shred on top browns in the last 10 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then finish on a board before you cut.

Frequently asked questions
Which vegan cheese browns?
A cheddar-style shred. A light oil spray helps if your brand stays pale.
