Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups grated zucchini, pat dry
- 1 ½ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour, see note
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a bread loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Grate the unpeeled zucchini. Once grated, squeeze out the excess moisture with paper towels. Then, measure out the 1 ½ cups. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten free flour, sea salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and coconut sugar. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in the grated zucchini, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the lined bread pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula. Dot with a few chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, remove the healthy zucchini bread from the oven. Fully cool before slicing into.
Notes
- This bread can also be made with Paleo baking flour. Use the same amount.
- Be sure to squeeze out all the excess moisture from the zucchini. Use paper towels or a cheesecloth to do this.
- Coconut sugar is my favorite healthier sugar alternative. If needed, substitute with lightly packed brown sugar.
- Melted coconut oil can be replaced by melted butter if needed.
- All ovens are different. Your bread might need slightly more or less time.
- Allow the bread to fully cool before slicing and serving.
