"Though I often make this bread with no add-ins, a hint of crunch from walnuts or pecans is a nice touch. For true chocoholics, chocolate chips or chunks–even white chocolate chips–add an extra layer of decadence! Yields 2 (3×5-inch) loaves or 1 (9×5-inch) loaf...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
•
1/4 cup cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s natural unsweetened, not “dutched”)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
•
2 large eggs (see notes)
•
1/3 cup honey (may substitute pure maple syrup)

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (melted butter or a fruity olive oil are other good options)
•
3/4 cup zucchini, shredded
•
Optional add-ins: white (or dark) chocolate chips, nuts of choice, dried cherries, cranberries or raisins (1/4 cup is a good starting point for the various options)
