Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini) (see notes above)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (I use this brand)
- 2 3/4 cups blanched almond flour (I use this brand)
- 3/4 cup granular sweetener, more for a sweeter bread (I use this brand)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use this brand)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (I use this brand)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso granules (I use this brand)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (I use this brand)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8 inch loaf pan with butter or coconut oil.
- Place the shredded zucchini in cheese cloth or a nut milk bag and twist and squeeze to remove the excess water.
- Crack the eggs in a large mixing bowl and whisk. Add the butter, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. Stir in the drained zucchini.
- To a separate mixing bowl, add the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder, espresso granules, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and using a rubber spatula, mix until well combined. The batter will be stiff.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick placed into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving.
- To unmold, slide a knife around the edges of the pan and then use a spatula to lift the loaf out of the pan.
