I took my regular zucchini bread recipe (one of the first things I ever posted on this blog!) and tweaked it a bit to get…Zucchini Cacao Nib Bread. This was moist with the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering, thanks to the cacao nibs. Even though they were the Sweet Cacao Nibs, they tasted more like dark chocolate than sweet, and brought a new dimension of flavor to my usual recipe.
Zucchini Cacao Nib Bread
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup apple sauce
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup Nativas Naturals Sweet Cacao Nibs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
- Beat eggs, applesauce, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini until combined. Fold in Cacao Nibs. Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Spoon into lightly greased loaf pans (I sprayed mine with cooking spray) and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Try not to eat the whole loaf in one sitting…it’s not as easy as it looks!
Before I forget to mention, the Cacao Nibs were sent to me by the amazing people of Nativas Naturals, who also sent me Freeze-dried Wheatgrass Powder, which I’ve been using in my smoothies, but more on that later!
This company has an amazing variety of superfoods – chia, goji berry, cacao, hemp, etc and are dedicating to organic agriculture with sustainable, socially responsible relationships with farmers. Win-win if you ask me!!
