Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Mix coconut flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla. Combine the wet ingredients and dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Add in zucchini and chocolate chips if using.
Grease a bread pan with coconut oil and spread the batter into the pan.
Bake for about 45 minutes in a preheated oven. It is done when you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serve plain or with butter and honey. Enjoy!
Notes
This bread is delicious by itself (especially warm from the oven), but it is even better with butter and a drizzle of honey!
Make sure you squeeze the extra liquid out of the zucchini before adding it to your bread! Zucchini can add too much moisture to the recipe if this isn't done.
You can easily make this bread into muffins. Instead of pouring the batter into a bread pan, separate it into 12 muffin cups. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
Feel free to add other inclusions, like raisins, walnuts, or pecans.
