Ingredients

1 cup zucchini, shredded
1 egg
1 cup 0% nonfat Greek Yogurt 270g
1/2 cup lite Pancake Syrup 110g
1 tsp1 Vanilla Extract
1.5 cups almond flour 235g
1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (Gold Standard Whey) 32g
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 oz. chocolate chips on top 28g

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a baking loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. I use Chosen Foods avocado spray.
While the oven heats grate zucchini with a standard cheese grater. Set aside while you prep the batter and do not squeeze the liquid out. Place all wet ingredients (not including zucchini) in a bowl and mix.
Place all dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and fold in zucchini last.
Add the mixture to parchment paper lined loaf pan and top with chocolate chips.
Bake at 350F for approximately one hour until a toothpick comes out clean.
Slice and serve.

Notes

Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
If your bread is starting to brown too fast on the top, tent it with foil. This will prevent the top from burning.
