Flourless Chocolate Chip Zucchini Loaf
My Flourless Chocolate Chip Zucchini Loaf is the best healthy dessert that's lower sugar and full of veggies. Dairy-free and gluten-free!
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 2 cups of zucchini chopped (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups oats rolled oats work best
- 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 8-½ x 4-½ x 2-½ inch pan.
- In a high powered blender combine zucchini, bananas, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, oats, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend until smooth. You may need to use a spoon or spatula to gently stir periodically to ensure everything gets blended.
- Once smooth- pour batter into the loaf pan and top with chocolate chips. Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
Oats can be replaced with 2 cups of pre-blended oat flour.
If you wish to shred the zucchini first you can (just don't ring out the excess water)!
You can also pour the batter into a bowl and mix in chocolate chips if you prefer to have chocolate chips throughout the bread rather than just on top
