- Now add in the eggs. Whisk until the eggs are completely incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients
- Now add the flour, almond flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and all spice.
- Whisk until everything is just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips, taking care not to overmix.
Bake the zucchini breakfast cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Oil TWO, 8x4 inch pans, and fill each pan half way with batter.
- Bake the cakes at 350 degrees for 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean.
Serve and enjoy!
- Let the cakes cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy as breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
Notes
This recipe makes TWO, 8x4 inch cakes.
Be sure to let the cakes cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. The texture of the crumb and the flavors will continue to develop in the pan after baking, so don't cut into the loaf too early!
