Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
