Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) packed grated zucchini (don’t peel)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or another neutral/melted oil*
- 3/4 cup (150 g) coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (60 g) dark cocoa powder sometimes labeled alkalized or Dutch-processed
- 1 1/2 teaspoon (8 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120 g) gluten-free measure-for-measure or 1:1 gluten-free flour**
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- 1/2 cup (90 g) dairy-free chocolate chips (2–3 Tbsp. set aside)
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F and prepare your baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly using a whisk.
- In a separate, larger bowl, mix together the eggs, vegetable oil, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until they are well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until there are just a few streaks of flour remaining.
- Gently fold the grated zucchini and dairy-free chocolate chips into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the batter into the loaf pan you’ve prepared, then sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips you have set aside. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with only a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges to release the loaf and transfer it to the rack to cool completely before slicing. If parchment paper was used, simply lift the bread out using the paper as handles.
- Store any remaining bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze it for up to 2 months using a freezer bag.
