Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh zucchini, grated
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Stevia or erythritol (sugar substitute)
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, stevia (or erythritol), and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
