Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a bread pan with parchment paper.
  2. Next, grate zucchini. Once grated, use a paper towel to squeeze out ALL excess moisture from zucchini.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour batter into bread pan. Garnish with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Note: if bread is getting too brown on top, place a piece of aluminum foil on top and continue baking until done.
  7. Lastly, allow bread to fully cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use grater to finely grate zucchini.  Do not use big chunks of zucchini.
  • If using frozen zucchini, allow it to thaw completely.  Then, grate before use and squeeze out all excess moisture.
  • If using pre-made zucchini noodles, chop very finely and squeeze out moisture before adding to batter.
  • Mix until a thick batter forms.
  • Any chocolate chips work.  I used mini dark chocolate chips.
  • If bread is getting too brown or crispy on top, add a piece of aluminum foil on top of bread and continue baking.
  • Bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • This bread can be frozen in individual slices.
