How to do it
- PREHEAT the oven to 350 and grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- ADD the melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, and honey, to a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on HIGH for 1-2 minutes, until light and fluffy. (I do recommend using a mixer, however mixing together with a wooden spoon would also work)
- ADD the eggs and beat just until combined.
- PLACE the shredded zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze out the excess water over the sink until little to no water is left dripping off.
- ADD the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients, and use a wooden spoon stir to combine.
- ADD the VaVa Vanilla Dilettoso Mix and pumpkin pie spice to the wet ingredients and stir to combine, careful not to over mix. It's ok if a few streaks of flour remain.
- FOLD in the chocolate chips.
- SCRAPE the zucchini bread batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- BAKE for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only moist crumb clinging to it.
- LET the bread cool in the pan, and then slice to serve.
