Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs
- 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 and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Grate the zucchini and spread it on several layers of paper towels. Press out as much water as possible and set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the eggs, mashed banana, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Gently fold in the zucchini.
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients and stir gently. Fold in the chocolate chunks if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Optionally sprinkle some additional chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool on a wire rack for 35-45 minutes. Lift the bread out using the parchment paper and place it back on the cooling rack to cool completely.
- To store, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
Feel free to substitute applesauce for the mashed banana if desired.
For added flavor, consider adding nuts or seeds to the batter.
