2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
dash of salt
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Shred the zucchini using a cheese grater or food processor. Pour the grated zucchini into a mesh strainer and sprinkle with salt. Set the strainer in the sink so the the moisture from the zucchini can drain, about 10 minutes
In the meantime, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl
Once 10 minutes have passed, press the zucchini into the mesh strainer, trying to strain out any additional liquid. You can also squeeze large handfuls of the zucchini with your hands to strain
Pour the shredded zucchini into the bowl of dry ingredients, then add the maple syrup and the egg
Stir well to combine
Pour the mixture into a greased glassed loaf pan. Flatten out the top and place into the oven
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is cooked through
Let cool, then slice into 2″ thick slices. Carefully lift each slice from the pan
Store in the refrigerator. Once ready to serve, turn the oven broiler to low and place the slice(s) on a baking sheet
Broil for 5 minutes, then flip and broil another 5 minutes. Watching carefully so the slices turn burn but get slightly crispy on the outside
