Equipment

  • box grater
  • Mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Empower Bar Cacao Baking Mix pouch see note
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or granulated sugar of choice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or grass-fed butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups shredded zucchini from about 1 medium or 2 small
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spay a 9x4 loaf pan with cooking spray and line the bottom and the two long sides with parchment paper, allowing an inch or two to drape over the side of the pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Empower Bar Cacao baking mix, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir to blend.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and beat until a dough is formed. Add the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips and beat again.
  • Transfer the dough to the loaf pan and spread across the top until even. Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. You can also test the temperature with a food thermometer. It should read 180 to 190 degrees F. Allow the bread to completely cool in the baking pan before slicing, about 2 hours.
