Chocolate Zucchini Bread (yum!) ((gfcf))

I found this little gem of a recipe on the back of an obscure brand of gluten free all purpose flour mix that was on clearance. 

I love any kind of yummy bread that i can add a touch of healthy goodness to, like zucchini, or carrots or pumpkin or nuts.

This bread turned out very moist and had a lighter texture that you don't normally get from gfcf flours. And  it tasted really good.

Of course I tweaked it to meet our GFCFSF needs, replacing the use of regular oils, butters, choc chips and cocoa powder in this particular recipe. I also added a little more cinnamon. :)

3 eggs 

2 c. sugar
1 c. coconut oil

1 tsp gluten-free vanilla
2 Tbsp melted coconut butter 

6 Tbsp unsweetened pure cocoa (make sure its gfcfsf)
2 c. Gluten-free Pantry All-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda 

1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 c. grated zucchini 
2/3 c. gfcfsf chocolate chip mixed with 2 tsp gluten free flour

1 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Combine and mix well eggs, sugar, oil and gluten-free vanilla. Combine and mix melted butter and unsweetened cocoa to form a paste. Combine Gluten free flour, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Preheat oven to 350º and lightly oil 2 loaf pans. Combine egg mixture with cocoa. Mix well. Add flour mixture. Fold in grated zucchini, chocolate chips mixed with gluten free flour and nuts. Pour into loaf pans. Bake 60-70 minutes.

Mmmmmmmm.....

I enjoyed my slice with a nice hot cup of chai tea.
