• 3/4 cup Maple Syrup, or honey
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil, or melted Butter

How to Make a Healthier Zucchini Bread:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper and butter the sides if needed, as well. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Create a well in the center.
3. Add the zucchini, eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla. Beat the center before moving into the flour along the edges, then just mix until the flour is incorporated. Stir in the chopped chocolate with a spatula.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. (Optional) Top with crushed pistachios, sesame seeds, and extra chopped chocolate.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let rest in the loaf pan for at least 10 minutes, before using the parchment paper to gently lift the zucchini bread out of the pan and onto a wire rack or large plate to cool 30 minutes (or completely).
