- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt I used full fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line with parchment.
- In a medium bowl, stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut sugar, coconut oil, greek yogurt and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Add dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir together until just combined. Be sure not to over mix the batter!

Notes
- Gluten-free: I haven’t tested this recipe with a gluten-free all-purpose flour option, but if you try it let me know how it turns out in the comments below.
- Dairy-free: To make this loaf dairy-free swap the yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt.
- Vegan: I also haven’t tested a vegan version of this recipe, but you could use a vegan yogurt and try using flax eggs in place of the regular eggs. Again, I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure how it’ll turn out, but if you do try it let me know how it turns out for you.
- Coconut sugar: If you don’t have coconut sugar I recommend using light brown sugar, cane sugar or granulated sugar.
- Coconut oil: If you don’t have coconut oil you can use melted butter or another neutral oil instead.
- Mix-ins: Feel free to add extras like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter for added flavor and texture.
