Chocolate Macaroon Zucchini Loaf - Gluten Dairy and Sugar Free - Paleo and Candida diet friendly

Quick update: I am feeling GOOD. Tired by the end of the day since I'm up at 5:00 am.  But GOOD.

Baby is slowly weaning. Only fed him twice in the past 24 hours. Not sure whether to laugh or cry!

For my kids weaning = sleeping.

So the little guy is finally sleeping almost through the night, most nights. Kinda of. Almost.

Funny thing is my body is confused by the uninterrupted sleep. So by 5:00 am it thinks I should be getting up. Jokes on me. Baby finally sleeps and I can't.

But the quality of rest is so much better that I really do feel GOOD. Not great, but good. [Click here to see what else I have done to cure my insomnia.]

So I'm celebrating my new found sleep with a little sugar-free treat. A delicious zucchini loaf that I'm loving with some sugar-free coconut yogurt and strawberry, rhubarb & Chia jam.

Yum Yum Yum. I'm liking this loaf! And its Candida diet friendly. And Paleo. And Low Carb. So enjoy without guilt!

Ingredients (1 loaf)

• 1/4 cup blanched almond flour (I used sliced blanched almonds that I ground in my coffee grinder - much cheaper than buying blanched almond flour)
• 1/4 cup organic coconut flour
• 2 Tbsp ground golden flax (I grind whole flax in my coffee grinder)
• 2 Tbsp arrowroot starch flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3 Tbsp cocoa powder - 100%
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened medium shredded coconut
• Wet Ingredients
• 3 free run eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup finely shredded zucchini, packed tightly
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup full fat canned coconut milk
• 2 Tbsp Truvia (Stevia/Erythritol blend or sweetener of choice)

Instructions

Combine all dry ingredients.

Combine wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients until just combined.

Let stand for about 10 minutes to let coconut flour absorb liquids.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil. Optional - also line the loaf pan with parchment paper.

Pour batter into loaf pan.

Bake for about 1 hour or until knife in the center comes out clean.

Let cool COMPLETELY before removing from loaf pan and slicing. I know its hard to wait but it will give you the best results. Enjoy!
