Paleo Friendly Chocolate Zucchini Bread by Ashley

Last night I was so close to getting in my car and driving to the nearest fro-yo bar! All I could think about was a delicious bowl of frozen yogurt topped with all my favorite chocolate candy pieces! Instead, I settled for making a healthy guilt-free alternative… which I must say, came out pretty darn good! 

Chocolate Zucchini Bread 

Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free 

Prep Time: 10 Minutes 

Cook Time: Around 40 Minutes 

Ingredients: 

(I bought everything at Trader Joe's)

1-1/4 cup of almond flour (or coconut flour) 

1/4 cup of cacao powder 

3 teaspoons of cinnamon 

1/4 teaspoon of sea salt 

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 

a dash nutmeg 

a dash of ginger 

2 eggs 

1/4 cup of raw, organic honey 

2 tablespoons of coconut oil 

1/4 teaspoon of  organic vanilla extract 

3/4 cup of grated zucchini 

Directions: 

Pre-heat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until there are no clumps.  Spray a 5x9 pan with coconut oil cooking spray.  Pour the mixture into the pan.  Bake for 40 minutes on 350.  

This bread was delicious and completely kicked my chocolate craving! They say, "90% diet and 10% gym"  Eating healthy isn't easy so when your cravings are strong… always look for the healthy alternative.  Your body will thank you!

Paleo Pumpkin Bread by Ashley

Paleo Pumpkin Bread

By Ashley 

Last night I was having some major cravings so instead of caving in and cheating I decided to channel in the fall and make some clean and healthy pumpkin bread that is paleo friendly.  Guilt-free food that makes me feel like I'm cheating is always a win in my book! Not to mention, this recipe was so easy that I whipped up another batch so we could have some handy all week long!

 

Prep Time: 5 minutes 

Cook Time: 45 minutes 

 I bought most of my ingredients at Trader Joe's.

Ingredients: 

2 cups of almond flour

3/4 teaspoon of baking soda 

1-3 teaspoons of cinnamon (depending on how much you like cinnamon) 

1 teaspoon of Nutmeg 

1 teaspoon of ground ginger 

1/2 teaspoon of salt 

1/2 cup of organic pumpkin puree 

1/2 cup of agave or raw honey 

2 eggs (could also use egg whites) 

Additional mix in's: 

Cranberries

Raisins  

Walnuts 

Pecans 

 Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350.  

Gather all ingredients and pour into one mixing bowl. 

 Mix everything together until there are no clumps and no dry ingredients 

Spray your 5x9 pan with coconut oil spray. 

Pour ingredients into pan 

Place in oven for at least 40 minutes... depending on how moist you like your bread you could leave it in for another 5 minutes.

The first loaf I made was gone within in minutes! Needless to say, its delicious!
