Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Shred the zucchini, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let it sit, draining in a colander for 10 minutes.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and mix well.
- Stir in the eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and whisk to combine.
- Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the zucchini, then fold into the batter together with the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the chocolate zucchini bread cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes, before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Allow the zucchini bread to cool before cutting.
- Make sure you drain the zucchini. It is an important step.
- Any flour of choice will work. If you have gluten allergies you can use gluten-free
- I used rolled oats. Quick oats work too.
- You may use honey in place of maple syrup.
