Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the vanilla extract, milk (or almond milk), and unsweetened applesauce. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth 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 bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as a wholesome snack or dessert. Enjoy your sugar-free chocolate zucchini bread!
