Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8-inch metal baking pan and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the oats until pulverized and smooth to make oat flour. They should be fine like flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the shredded zucchini.
- Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Don’t over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips and a little flaky sea salt, if desired. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Cut into squares and serve!
Notes
- Don't squeeze the liquid out of the shredded zucchini, you need the moisture for the cake to be moist.
- Store the cake covered on the counter for up to 3 days.
