Add hazelnut meal to food processor and process until fine.

Melt chocolate chips, coconut oil, and almond milk in a pan on the stove; make sure the milk is not too warm and then add this mixture to the food processor. Add all other ingredients and blend until very smooth.

Pour batter into a 9″ pie pan and bake at 375° F – until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (approx 15-20 minutes). Let cool, remove from pan, top with whipped cream, if desired.

Preparation Time: 20 Minutes

Optional:

Preheat oven to 350 ° F

Combine dry ingredients in a sifter, set aside. You can also combine them into a bowl and whisk together, if you don’t have a sifter.

Place wet ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat on medium for 1-2 minutes, until frothy and fully combined. Add the zucchini and beat again just enough to incorporate.

Using the sifter, slowly add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer, then run the mixer until all the ingredients are well combined.

Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, top with the optional walnuts and/or chocolate chips. Also, batter could be spooned into muffin liners, fill almost to the top. (Makes approximately 24 cupcakes.)

Bake for 30-35 minutes for cupcakes, or 45-55 minutes for a cake, until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

Serve warm with ice cream, or home made whipped cream.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.
