Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 Cups Grated zucchini (about 1 medium-sized zucchini)
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 Cup Honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your liking)
- 1/4 Cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat White flour (you can use a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour if desired)
- 1/2 Cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
- Cooking spray or parchment paper, for greasing the loaf pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake the zucchini bread in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it after 40 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
