PALEO Chocolate Zuccini Bread

Ok this recipe might be one of my finest!! It's moist, (I know I know some people HATE that word-but its what it is) decadent, has wonderfully clean ingredients and is SUPER simple to make-With the baby coming so soon I say the easier the better!!

Hi there!

Fall is here and Im making the most of it by trying new fall recipes, sprucing up the house with fall decor and eating lots of pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING

I found myself with a LOT of zucchinis from a neighbor and I thought-what a better way to use them than to taste test some new zucchini breads!
My husband has recently taken gluten out of his diet so I wanted to make sure I didn't leave him out of the fun. I choose Almond flour as the base for this delicious bread. It has a really nice dense consistency and  a nutty flavor! You barely miss the gluten!

We ate this up almost as fast as it cooled and I will be sure to make more soon!

I hope you enjoy the recipe!
