How to Make Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Banana (No Flour)

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your pan.
2. Grate zucchini and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
3. Mash the ripe banana until smooth.
4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, banana, honey/maple syrup (if using), and salt until well combined.
5. Add grated zucchini and stir. Mix in cocoa powder, almond/or oat flour, and baking soda.
6. Fold in chocolate chips or walnuts if desired. You’ll feel that fudgy batter tugging—that’s perfect!
7. Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth the top gently.
8. Bake for about 25–30 minutes (loaf) or 20–25 minutes (round pan), until edges are set and center is slightly soft. A toothpick comes out with moist crumbs—not dry.
9. Let cool completely before slicing—you want it dense and fudgy.

What to Serve with Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Banana (No Flour)

• A dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut whipped cream
• Fresh berries or raspberries for brightness
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce or melted nut butter
• Coffee, almond milk latte, or a minty herbal tea

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Thoroughly squeeze zucchini to avoid excess moisture
• Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness—skip extra honey if banana is sweet
• Don’t over-bake: under‑done center gives fudgy magic
• Option: remove from pan shortly after baking and cool on a rack to prevent soggy bottom

Storage Instructions

• Store at room temperature covered for 2–3 days
• Refrigerate up to 5 days in airtight container
• Freeze individually wrapped slices for up to 2 months; thaw gently

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute eggs?
Yes—try flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water per egg), though texture becomes slightly less fudgy.

Is it really flourless?
Yes, absolutely—no wheat flour. Almond or oat flour adds structure, but feel free to omit entirely for ultra‑simple fudginess (though it may be more fragile!).

Can I use regular cocoa powdered sugar?
Use unsweetened cocoa—sweetened versions throw off sugar content and texture.

How ripe should the banana be?
Very ripe—lots of brown speckles or even mushy—gives best sweetness and vanilla‑like flavor.

Can I add mix‑ins?
Yes! Dark chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, or even coconut flakes work wonderfully.

Conclusion

This Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Banana (No Flour) is deceptively indulgent—rich, fudgy, naturally sweet, and secretly healthy thanks to banana and zucchini. A delightful treat for any time of day!
