Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded and squeezed of excess moisture) Zucchini
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop (about 25-30 grams) Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a bit of coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
