Equipment
- 1 1.25 lb loaf pan (9x5 inch loaf pan)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar (or packed brown sugar)

- 1 cup shredded zucchini (do not squeeze out moisture)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease your loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla until no lumps remain.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir until roughly combined but not smooth (do not fully mix).
- Add the shredded zucchini and all but 2 tbsp of the chocolate chips, then stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the batter, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Check at the 35-minute mark and tent with foil if browning too quickly. Bake until baked through. Allow to cool, then slice and serve!
