Ingredients
Bread:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded fresh zucchini approximately 1 zucchini
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil I used safflower oil
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee cold
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg white or egg replacer like aquafaba
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup 169 grams gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
Glaze (optional)
- 3/4 cup sifted confectioner's sugar + 1-2 Tbs. milk of choice for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection). Lightly oil a 9×5 bread pan or 2-3 mini loaf pans.
- Shred the zucchini using a fine shredding disc on a food processor or a hand shredder. Measure 1 1/2 cups and set aside to drain in a colander if the zucchini is particularly wet. You can also press the shredded zucchini between paper towels.
- Beat together oil, brewed coffee, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients until incorporated, then whip together until smooth, approximately 1-2 minutes. Stir in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips, if using.
- Once the zucchini is integrated, pour into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center has no wet crumbs on it when removed. Rotate pan half way through the bake to help the loaf rise more uniformly.
- Depending on whether your pan size and whether your pan is metal or glass, the bake time may be longer or shorter, so add 5 minutes and repeat the toothpick test, if needed.
- Remove to cool on a wire rack and remove from pan after cooling for 15 minutes.
- When cooled, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar, or whisk confectioner's sugar with milk for glaze if desired, before serving.
