Prep Notes
This recipe is quite flexible, so feel free to bake it in a bread pan, a square baking pan so you have cake squares, or make muffins/cupcakes using the batter. The cupcakes will bake a bit faster than the bread or cake. It works well in a loaf pan at least 7.5 inches x 3.5 inches (19 cm x 8.9 cm), or an 8-inch x 8-inch (20.3 cm x 20.3 cm) baking pan.
If your zucchini is wet, place it in a towel and wring out the excess moisture, or place it in a strainer and press out the excess moisture.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C, or gas mark 4).
- Grease your baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Dust the sides with coconut flour. If you’re after easy release, line the entire pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor or mixer, blend the zucchini, eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. A food processor will further break up the zucchini so you won’t see any zucchini in the baked bread.
- Blend the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt into the wet batter and let the batter sit for a few minutes.
- Mix in the chocolate chips and pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve. Store covered at room temperature for several days or in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
