Ingredients

  • 1 cup zucchini measured shredded and drained (1 medium-sized zucchini)
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup granular Monk fruit
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup sugar free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F. Then, grease an 8’’ loaf pan with coconut oil or butter. Set it aside.
  • Remove zucchini tips and shred them. Then, place it into a clean cloth or nut milk bag to drain excess water. Drain the zucchini very well to prevent a soggy bread.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Then add vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, and coffee. Whisk to combine. Add drained zucchini and stir to combine.
  • In a separate medium sized bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cacao powder.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the zucchini batter bowl and combine. The result will be a stiff batter, it will absorb the moisture that released from the zucchini.
  • Fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips and mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes and then test by placing a toothpick in the center. You should see little lumps on the toothpick there, but it probably won’t be clean as usual because it’s a fudgy, moist bread.
  • Let it cool completely before transferring it. To remove the bread from the pan, slide a knife around the edges to unstick it from the sides. Then lift it using a spatula, and place it on a serving plate.

Notes

It's best to squeeze shredded zucchini using a clean tea towel, a thin cloth, or, as I did, a nut milk bag.
To store in the refrigerator: Place cooled bread in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
To store at room temperature: Place in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To store in the freezer: Place in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
