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 prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or non-stick spray. Set it aside.
- Grate the zucchini and place it between layers of paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the eggs, mashed banana, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Gently fold in the zucchini.
- Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon with the wet ingredients, stirring gently. If using, fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top, and add extra chocolate chunks on top if desired.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for 35-45 minutes. Lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cool completely on the rack.
- For storage, place the bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
For extra sweetness, consider adding more banana or chocolate chunks.
Make sure to thoroughly squeeze the grated zucchini to remove excess moisture for the best texture.
You can use applesauce instead of mashed banana for a different flavor.
