Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

August 7, 2019 by healthienut 2 Comments

When you have a big pile of zucchini sitting in your fridge and you have a huge sweet tooth…what else are you supposed to make other than zucchini bread. Let’s be real.

Embedded with chocolate chips, sweetened with maple syrup, hints of tahini, and of course zucchini. You’ll be wanting to eat the whole loaf, let me tell you.

I am kind of indecisive when it comes to the textures I am looking for in a sweet bread like this. Do I want it fluffy? Dense? Fudgy? Moist? Why not all four?

Fudgy from the chocolate, so moist and fluffy, yet perfectly dense. It is heavenly.

The Best Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies

August 6, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

They’re gluten-free, lower in sugar, vegan, so simple, and so delicious. I’m bummed I couldn’t share these on National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, but I’m bringing you the recipe now and you don’t want to skip out on it.

Chewy and soft inside with a slightly crispy outside. Embedded with gooey chocolate chips and a hint of almond.

Sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup.

As mentioned in a previous recipe, my absolute favorite gluten-free flour blend to use is Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 GF flour. It already contains xanthum gum and always creates the perfect texture! (Not sponsored).

Believe me when I tell you that this cake is refined sugar-free and gluten-free. A cake with no sugar? Yeah, that’s possible. Gluten-free cake that doesn’t fall apart? Yep, I did that.

A decadent double chocolate cake that’s moist, fluffy, and melts in your mouth. Paired with a creamy chocolate peanut butter frosting and fresh raspberries.

This cake is sweetened with a blend of dates and a touch of maple syrup. You can leave those refined sugars in your pantry for this one.

To make it simple I used an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend from Bob’s Red Mill. Mixing a bunch of gluten-free flours together and hoping it works was something I was not trying to do…so I made it simple for you! This blend has always been my favorite (not sponsored) and has never failed me.

The frosting has a few simple ingredients: peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and almond milk. Straight to the point, but so so delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

Thai-style Sweet & Sour Sauce

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 cup gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
Juice from 1 lime
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp lemongrass, minced
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp ground ginger

Toppings

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together chickpea flour, garlic, salt, and almond milk until creamy. Taking a slotted spoon, dunk each cauliflower floret into the batter to fully coat (making sure to shake off any excess batter). Place on baking sheet. Repeat with all florets. Bake for 25 min. until golden brown and crispy.
While cauliflower is baking, prepare the sauce. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 5-6 min. until thickened and reduced.
Add cauliflower to a large bowl and pour over sauce. Toss to coat. Transfer to a serving dish and top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts.
