Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (118g)*
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (190g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (145g)
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch (62g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini. You can do this by patting it dry with paper towels or using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to wring out the water.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the zucchini, eggs, applesauce and vanilla.
- Add in the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder and salt. Whisk until batter is well combined.
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Place the loaf in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
- Remove the loaf from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Once cooled to room temperature, cut and enjoy!
Notes
*The shredded zucchini weighs 118 grams with water. Be sure to wring out the excess water prior to mixing the zucchini with the other ingredients.
