DESCRIPTION
INGREDIENTS
Dry ingredients
- 150g rolled oats
- 5 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Handful of sugar free dark chocolate chips (optional)
Wet ingredients
- 1 large zucchini, grated
- 2 eggs
- 100g coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 360ºF / 180ºC.
- Grate zucchini using a box grater and drain off excess liquid. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add to mixing bowl the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- In a blender or food processor, process rolled oats into a fine powder.
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients, except for chocolate chips, to the blender. Process until combined.
- Add the combined dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
- Transfer batter to a lightly greased loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until an inserted stick comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing and storing. Enjoy!
NOTES
- The bread can be stored in an airtight container in room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Chocolate chips are optional but highly recommended! I used sugar-free ones to keep this recipe low sugar.
- Feel free to substitute coconut sugar with any other dry sweetener of choice.
- Feel free to substitute olive oil with another oil. If using coconut oil, melt it before mixing it with the other wet ingredients.
- If gluten-intolerant, make sure you buy rolled oats that are certified gluten-free.
