Peanut Butter Zucchini Bread

November 9, 2023

A flavorful and nutritious twist on the classic zucchini bread. To create this delicious bread, start with the richness of sweet potatoes or canned pumpkin. Grate and drain zucchini to add moisture and a subtle vegetable goodness to the mix. Crack eggs into the bowl for a binding effect, or opt for vegan eggs if you prefer.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for that sweet and aromatic touch, then incorporate natural peanut butter and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for a delightful flavor combination.

In the dry ingredients mix, combine coconut flour, vanilla protein, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. If you have a sweet tooth, add monk fruit for an extra hint of sweetness. Stir in dark chocolate chips for an indulgent twist.

Bake until golden brown, and you'll have Peanut Butter Zucchini Bread that's not only delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients. Enjoy the nutty and chocolatey goodness in every slice!

INGREDIENTS

Wet
- 1 1/2 c sweet potatoes, cooked skins removed or canned pumpkin
- 1 c grated zucchini, drained
- 2 eggs or vegan eggs work
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 c natural pb
- 1 Tbsp ACV (apple cider vinegar)
Dry
- 1/4 c coconut flour
- 1/4 c vanilla protein
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp each salt & cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp monk fruit (optional add in if you want it more sweet, I did)
- 1/3 c dark chocolate chips
  
  STEPS

Remove skin of potatoes and add to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher.
Grate zucchini with a cheese grater and squeeze out liquid over the sink before adding to the bowl.
Then add ACV, PB, & vanilla. Stir well.
Add all dry ingredients, adding chocolate chips lastly.
Pour batter into a sprayed or lined muffin tin for muffins and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. For a loaf, pour into a lined and/or sprayed loaf pan and bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes. Makes 12 muffins or slices.
Allow to cool some before eating bc zucchini stems and you’ll burn your tongue. Store in the fridge in an airtight container. Good for 5-7 days

Notes: If you want to skip zucchini, you can swap for 1 c mashed banana but will add more healthy carbs and make it more naturally sweet. There’s no right or wrong!
