Wheat-Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread

We recently joined a local CSA to get fresh veggies every week.  Its wonderful.  We got the largest box because we eat (or want to eat) lots of vegetables.  I make it a personal goal to have used ALL of the vegetables before the next box comes.  This sounds easy but its not.  It ends up meaning me having to find a way to cook several different veggies a day.  We love zucchini bread and we love chocolate and I love having something already made for breakfast.  Most of the recipes I found had 50 cups of sugar and just as much flour.  That would be like eating double sugar for breakfast plus the kids would be begging for more food 15 mins later.  SOOOOO thats where this recipe comes in.  Its still not grain free, and Im fine with that, but I do one day want to try with all almond flour. If you try this recipe and have tweaks PLEASE let me know.

Wheat-Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup coconut oil (virgin if you like the taste, we do)

1/2 cup of coconut milk (regular milk could be used, we used canned)

1 tbs vanilla extract

3 cups-ish of grated zucchini (I say ish because I dont measure, its usually one good size zucchini)

1 cup almond flour

2 cups ground oats (I ground mine in the blender/vitamix)

3/4 cup of honey (add more if need be)

3 tbs of peanut butter powder (optional)

3 tbs of unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 C)

2. Grease TWO 4x8-inch pans (I melted about a tbs of butter in each pan)

3. Beat eggs in a large bowl until light and foamy; mix in coconut oil (heat it a bit), honey, vanilla, coconut milk, and zucchini.  

4. Wisk flours, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder together in a seperate bowl

5. Stir flour mixture in with the zuchinni mixture

6. Mix in chocolate chips and chopped nuts

7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans

8. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour

9. Let cool in pans for 10 min before removing from pans and cooling on wire racks.

Enjoy!
This is a very filling cake.  Dont forget to eat it with butter. :)
