Delicious! I really enjoyed eating this one.
Easy to make and you can slice it up and freeze it so you can be thrown into school lunches for a little "treat" … sssh kids don't know any different.
If you can't make it entirely healthy with sugar free chocolate, don't lose sleep. Dark chocolate is just as good and it has vegetables in it... so its all balanced HAHA.
Use your loaf tin to make this one. I haven't tried a muffin tray yet but I think it could work for as a muffin recipe just change the cook time.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
3 small zucchinis
1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup honey
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocao/cocoa powder
1 cup of plain whole meal flour
pinch of salt
2 tsp bi-card soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup dark sugar chocolate chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 175 degrees
If you have a food processor, chuck the zucchini and let it do the work, otherwise use a grater and grate the zucchini
Add the zucchini to a bowl and add the eggs, vanilla, oil, honey, maple syrup and cocoa/cocao powder and stir until combined
Then add the flour, salt, baking powder and bi-card and mix with the zucchini etc
Add in the chocolate chips
Transfer the mixture to the loaf tin (I did add a few more choc chips to the top because I kept eating it so it had to go)
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until skewer, knife whatever you have comes out clean
Cool in the pan and then transfer to a wire rack for 10 minutes to cool completely
This slice can last about 5 days or slice it up and freeze it for lunches
