I’m still trying my darndest to eat relatively healthy no matter how many times Derek suggests eating chocolate chips straight out of the bag. Cinnamon bread, cinnamon rolls, basically anything with cinnamon and sugar might be my greatest weakness. At least this cinnamon swirl bread has zucchini and uses monkfruit sweetener instead of granulated sugar in the bread! Golden monkfruit sweetener is also available to substitute for brown sugar, but our local store doesn’t sell it. Womp womp.

Notes
Always use room-temperature ingredients when baking with coconut oil.
When mixed with cold ingredients, melted coconut oil will solidify. The best way to prevent this from happening is to bring other ingredients, like milk and eggs, to room temperature before mixing ingredients together.
This recipe also works in a standard 9×4 loaf pan. Just bake for about 60 minutes.
