Sugar-Free and Whole Wheat Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 1/3 cup sugar-free sweetener of your choice
• 6 T grapeseed oil or canola oil
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, or pecans

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F/175C. Coat a loaf pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, your chosen sweetener, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and buttermilk. Add the grated zucchini and stir it through.
3. In a somewhat larger bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, then stir only until everything comes together. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, scraping the bowl well. Smooth the surface so the loaf bakes up evenly.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick pushed into the middle comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pan before slicing and serving.
