I’m so reluctant to try desserts with veggies in them. I think this is a perfect recipe to try out (you had me at chocolate chips!). Can you taste the zucchini in the recipe?
Hi Xena, thank you, I would say that there isn’t really a strong zucchini taste. It is quite a nice mild flavour especially with the addition of chocolate chips! I hope you enjoy it.
Can you replace the cake flour with something healthier like einkorn or coconut flour? Can you use coconut oil in place of vegetable oil?
Hi Autumn, to tell the truth I have never made anything with coconut flour or oil so I really don’t know what the ratio would be. You might have to do some experimenting. if you do let me know how it comes out. Thanks. Have a great day.
