Chocolate Zucchini Oat Flour Bread Recipe (Dairy-free, Vegetarian)

Ready in 1 hr 45 mins.
Adapted from Once Upon a Chef

Ingredients

Wet:

• 1/2 organic coconut oil

• 1/2 cups organic cane sugar

• 2 free range organic eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 cups shredded zucchini, gently packed (1-2 small zucchinis)

Dry:

• 1-2/3 cups rolled oats, blended until fine in a blender

• 1/3 cup cocoa powder

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Required: blender or food processor and loaf pan.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your loaf pan with coconut oil.

2. Melt your coconut oil for 30 seconds in a microwave safe bowl. Add into a large mixing bowl with cane sugar. Mix until well combined. Then add eggs and vanilla extract.

3. In a blender, blend oats into a fine flour. Then add cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda and blend until well combined. Add this into your wet batter and mix.

4. Mix in shredded zucchini and half of your chocolate chips (saving half to sprinkle on top of your bread). The mixture will be very thick. Pour batter into your pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

5. Bake for 70-80 minutes until your inserted toothpick comes out 90% clean. Any cleaner and the bread will be over cooked and dry.
