Banana Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts
  • 3 Tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 small zucchini coarsely grated
  • 2 large over-ripe bananas, well mashed
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large organic eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 4 x 8 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In large bowl, whisk together flour, hemp hearts, cacao powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Squeeze out any excess water from grated zucchini before adding to a medium bowl along with mashed banana, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk together until well combined.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and, with a rubber spatula, fold together until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf tin and bake in preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, about 45 to 60 minutes.
