Ingredients
- 3 large brown bananas, about 1 + 1/4 cups
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, I used Chobani 0%
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup homemade oat flour
- ⅔ cup white whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup shredded zucchini, about 1 medium, squeezed
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line and grease a bread tin with parchment paper.
- Remove the non-stem end from the zucchini and grate using a box grater or food processor. Then, squeeze the water out with a cheesecloth over the sink. Alternatively, you can squeeze the moisture out with your hands and pat dry with a paper towel. Set to the side.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together then combine with mashed bananas, non-fat Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in oat flour, white whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda until completely combined. Hand fold in the shredded & squeeze zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the greased bread tin and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50 – 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool completely before slicing and enjoying!
