wanted: flourless zucchini bread recipe
Chocolate Zucchini (Or Apple) Bread
6 tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter
2-1 oz squares unsweetened chocolate
1 ¼cup sugar substitute
2 cups grated peeled apple or zucchini
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buckwheat flour
2 cups almond meal
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease an 8" by 5" loaf pan well with coconut oil, and sift cocoa powder over the bottom and up the sides. Cut a rectangle of parchment or wax paper to fit the bottom, and line the pan with it.
Grate zucchini or apple and press between a dishcloth or paper towels to blot out moisture. Melt coconut oil gently in the microwave, or scoop out and heat in a double boiler until liquefied. Measure out the tablespoons of liquid oil into a bowl. If using butter, melt until liquefied. Whisk in eggs, whites, vanilla, and fake sugar, and beat for a couple minutes until sweetener is dissolved. Chop chocolate and melt in 30 second intervals in the microwave until liquefied; scrape into batter and beat well. Measure out nut meal by packing it into your measuring cup firmly, and scraping the top level. Whisk together dry ingredients, and stir into batter. Fold in grated zucchini or apple. Beat well for 2-3 minutes. Scrape into pan and tap the bottom forcefully on the counter to pop the air bubbles in the batter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top springs back to the touch. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then invert gently on to a plate and stand upright. Let cool for an hour, slice, and serve. It freezes well, with slices individually wrapped in plastic and foil.
