Guilt-Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread | Low Carb | Gluten-free | Dairy-Free | Paleo

So it's that time of year again! It's zucchini season!! Anyone that knows anyone with zucchini plants are now being given all their extra zucchini. We didn't get our seeds planted early enough this year, so I thought we were going to miss out, but a friend of a friend, has been giving us BAGS of them (so many I brought some to my parents' house). Here's one of our favourite ways to use zucchini which dates back to my grandparents baking us zucchini bread when I was a kid. My mom told me last weekend that that was the only thing she knew how to make with zucchini... (but we’ve given it a “healthy-overhaul" to make it gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free). I also just filmed a few savoury recipes for so stay tuned for those too. I'm not a huge fan of zucchini (I hate how it goes mushy so I NEVER buy it at the store), but the breaded zucchini chips were SOOOOOO addictive, and the fritters... I ended up eating the entire batch for my lunch that day, lol. So be forwarned!! You'll be wanting everyone t AND if you use sugar-free choc chips and a sugar-free granulated sweetener like allulose, this recipe becomes low-carb/keto too!! 🕛 00:00 zucchini! 00:10 choc zucchini bread 00:47 shredding the zucchini 01:47 removing excess moisture 02:24 loaf pan 03:17 dry ingredients 03:54 wet ingredients 04:33 adding zucchini 06:40 baking 07:11 slice & enjoy 08:13 storage DOUBLE CHOC ZUCCHINI BREAD INGREDIENTS 1 large or 2 smaller zucchinis (after shredding you want about 2 cups of zucchini) 3 eggs 1/4 cup oil (we used melted coconut oil, but you could use avocado oil instead) 1 2/3 cups almond flour 1/4 cup coconut sugar/granulated sweetener of choice (we did half coconut, half allulose in the video). ALSO, we made this less sweet, more dark choc vibes, so if you like things sweeter, feel free to increase your sweetener to 2/3c like the OG recipe, that still works too 6 tbsp cocao powder 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup chocolate chips (we used Healthy Crunch 70% coconut-sugar sweetened choc chips) 1. Start by preheating your oven to 350F 2. Line a loaf pan with parchment (if you don't have a loaf pan you can totally use an 8x8 square pan too - just keep an eye on your baking time as it will be much thinner and therefore bake much faster) 3. Grate your zucchini (we like to put it through our food processor but you can totally use a box grater too!), then place the grated zucchini on paper towels or a kitchen towel to absorb the extra moisture from the zucchini. 4. Combine the rest of your ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then add the zucchini. Don’t worry if it seems dry at first. It will pick up moisture from the zucchini and loosen up as you mix. 5. Pour into your baking pan, (add some extra choc chips on top if you like) and bake for 45-55 minutes for a loaf pan. Check with a toothpick/skewer/butterknife, and if it comes out clean, it's done. Pull the pan from your oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter on it, add another 5 minutes of baking time - just keep an eye on it and the toothpick test will let you know when it's finished. For a 8x8 square pan, start with 25 minutes, and then add time as required. 6. Enjoy! We like to eat it while still warm, with a scoop of ice cream on top, so it melts into the bread. Yum! 7. Store your leftovers (if you have any), in an airtight container in the fridge. It will be good for up to 5 days. 🥒Here are some other delicious ways to use your zucchini🥒: ➡︎Double Choc Zucchini Bread:    • Guilt-Free Double Chocolate Zucchini ...   ➡︎Low-Carb Zucchini Fritters:    • How to Make Zucchini Fritters: No Glu...   ➡︎Crunchiest Breaded Zucchini Chips:    • Crunchy Oven Baked Zucchini Slices (G...   ➡︎Vegan Oatmeal Zucchini Cookies:    • The BEST Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies (Gl...   ➡︎Zucchini Ice Cream:    • 🍨🥒 Zucchini Ice Cream | No Churn | Da...   ABOUT: We're pretty new to YouTube and still trying to find our place - so please be kind, and let us know what you'd like to see more of!!! ==================================== #zucchini #zucchinirecipe #zucchinibread #lowcarb #keto #ketorecipes #lowcarbrecipes #paleo #glutenfree #glutenfreedessert #dairyfree #summerrecipes #chocolate #courgettes baby marrow Cucurbita pepo summer squash 4+ years ago I left my career in corporate pharma to open a gluten-free dairy-free paleo bakery to help others with autoimmune conditions & food restrictions.
