Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or sub with light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or sub with honey
- 2 eggs large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini moisture drained
- 3/4 cup ripe bananas mashed
- 100 grams dark chocolate chopped coarsely
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or sub with other nuts
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with baking paper.
- Prepare the zucchini by placing it in a tea towel or kitchen paper towel, and using both hands wring out the excess water. You can save the water for your smoothies. Set aside the grated zucchini.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut sugar, pure maple or honey, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Whisk together until smooth.
- Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Using a wooden spoon, mix together until there's no more streaks of flour. Add the mashed bananas, and grated zucchini and mix it just enough for it to be combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with more dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let it cool down for 10 minutes once baked before slicing. To store, transfer into an airtight container and store in the fridge for 4 days or the freezer for up to a month. When freezing, slice the bread first and then freeze in a single layer on a baking tray. Once frozen, transfer to a container.
