Vegan Cucumber, Walnut & Chocolate Bread

Vegan foods are always my favourite, actually i learned how to make vegan bakes only after entering this fabulous virtual blogsphere.If i ran out of eggs or milk products, i dont even hesitate a second to prepare my bakes as vegan.As i told earlier, my theme for this week's blogging marathon is cooking with electric appliances,how can i forget my all time favourite oven. Let me tell you a secret, i have two ovens at home. Now you can guess how am baking this much, i can prepare two or three bakes per day,if i feel very down.

Yes baking makes me happy,coming to this vegan bread, its a quick bread and i prepared this bread simply with finely grated cucumber, walnuts and chocolate.If am introducing something new in bakes,mostly i'll go for chocolate just to mask it. With chocolate,i can feed anything easily to my family members.I really want to make a quick bread for my third day of blogging marathon and went for this month's magic ingredients of Magic Mingle Challenge as Kalyani chosed both cucumber and walnuts as magic ingredients.Obviously this bread comes out extremely spongy,super moist and nutty, my kids enjoyed having this bread for their breakfast with their favourite nutella spread.Check out the bloggers running this 24th edition of blogging marathon here.Sending to  Siri's Celebrating First Anniversary.


1cup Wheat flour
1+1/2cups All purpose flour
1/2cup Chocolate chips
1/2cup Sugar
1cup Oil
2tbsp Flaxseed meal
1/2cup Applesauce
1/2cup Finely grated cucumber
1/2cup Walnuts (chopped roughly)
1/2tsp Baking powder
1tsp Baking soda
A pinch Salt


Preheat the oven to 350F.Grease well a loaf pan and keep aside.

Sieve together the flours,baking powder, baking soda and keep aside.

Mix the flaxseed meal with 6tablespoons of luke warm water and keep aside.

Whisk the oil,applesauce,salt and sugar together until the sugar gets dissolves,now add in the flax seed meal mixture, grated cucumber and mix for few minutes.

(Dont forget to drain the water from the grated cucumber before adding)


Melt the chocolate chips with two tablespoons of water in microwave oven for a minute,mix it well and add it to the oil mixture.

Make a well in a middle of the dry ingredients,stir in the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula, dont overmix the batter.

Fold in the chopped walnuts and pour the batter in the already prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 20-25minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Let it cool completely and enjoy with your favourite spread.

  14. Hello Priya.. I saw the guest post of yours in spicy treat blog, the cake looks awesome and the picture is superb.. I was shocked by seeing the perfect picture of your in her blog. Why I'm saying this, because I still remember that when I had a event in my blog called "treat to eyes" and I told you also to participate, but u told me you can't take the perfect picture... This picture are simply awesome, see you are not just a good cook but you are also a good photographer ;)
