Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup mashed banana (1 large) or applesauce
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup grated zucchini from about 1 medium zucchini
- ½ cup dark chocolate chunks optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Grate the zucchini and place it on several layers of paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and press out excess moisture. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the eggs, mashed banana, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Gently fold in the zucchini using a rubber spatula.
- Mix in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Add the chocolate chunks and fold them in as well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Optional: sprinkle additional chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 35-45 minutes. Carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and cool completely on the rack.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
Make sure to remove as much moisture from the zucchini to avoid a soggy bread.
For a sweeter option, consider increasing the amount of maple syrup slightly.
This bread can be enjoyed fresh or toasted, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
