• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 Eggs

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add in the coconut sugar and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and unsweetened applesauce into the egg mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Enjoy your gluten-free chocolate chip zucchini bread as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
