Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten Free oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips dairy free
- 1/4 cup honey optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 8x4 loaf pan with parchment paper allowing the sides to hang over the edges of the pan for easy bread removal.
- Shred the zucchini by pulsing a few times in a blender or food processor. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, salt and almond extract. If adding optional honey, you will mix that in here.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Fold the flour mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not over mix. Next fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips into the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepare loaf pan and smooth into an even layer.
- Bake 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick removes clean from the center.
- Remove the bread from the oven and cool 1 hour in the pan before removing, slicing and enjoying!
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 10 days or in the freezer up to 60 days.
