Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh zucchini
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup sour cream (I used Daisy brand)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Swerve powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (I used Diven cocoa rouge)
  • 60 low carb mini chocolate chips (I use Lily's chocolate chips - roughly 1 ½ tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Chop zucchini into large chunks and add to a blender. Blend on the lowest setting until the zucchini looks like rice or grated zucchini.

  3. Take out the zucchini and place it in a tea towel or large piece of paper towel. Wring out the excess water and set aside.

  4. Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla extra to the blender and blend on medium for 20 seconds.

  5. Then add in the dry ingredients - almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Blend on medium for 20 seconds.

  6. Add in the zucchini and blend on the lowest setting for a few seconds to get it well blended into the mixture.

  7. Spoon mixture into a greased bread loaf pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

  8. Bake for 50 -60 minutes until a toothpick pulls out clean. Mine took 60 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting.
