Dry Ingredients
1 1/2 almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca or arrowroot flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips, divided
Wet Ingredients
3 eggs1/2 unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup coconut sugar (technically dry but add it to the wet anyhow 😉)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2-3 medium. Measure after grating and extracting as much liquid as possible)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F (180c)
Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper hanging over the sides (this will help lifting the baked loaf out of the pan)
Place a sieve over a large bowl.
Grate the zucchini and place in the sieve to drain. Allow sitting for 15 minutes.
Press down on the zucchini to extract as much liquid as possible.
Divide the chocolate chips into 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients (minus the chocolate chips) and mix. Set aside.
Discard the zucchini liquid. In the bowl add the eggs, apple sauce, coconut sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
Add the drained zucchini to the wet ingredients and mix.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on the top and bake the loaf or 50-60 minutes until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Let cool on rack.
